Private sector employees who will report for work on June 28, a regular holiday for the observance of Eid’l Adha, will be paid 200 percent of their wage, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) said.

Under Labor Advisory No. 14, Series of 2023, employees who will work during the regular holiday are entitled to 200 percent of their wage for the first eight hours. The computation is basic wage x 200 percent.

If the employees do not report for work, they will be paid 100 percent of their wage for that day, provided they worked or were on leave of absence with pay on the day immediately preceding the regular holiday.

When the day immediately preceding the regular holiday is a non-working day in the establishment or the scheduled rest day of the employees, they will be entitled to holiday pay if they worked or were on leave of absence with pay on the day immediately preceding the non-working day or rest day.

Employees who will render overtime work will be paid an additional 30 percent of the hourly rate. The computation is an hourly rate of the basic wage x 200 percent x 130 percent x the number of hours worked.

Those who will work on June 28, which also falls on their rest day, will be paid an additional 30 percent of the basic wage of 200 percent, while those who will render overtime work will be paid an additional 30 percent of the hourly rate.

Eid’l Adha, one of the key holidays in Islam, marks the end of the hajj, or pilgrimage, to Mecca. It also emphasizes the values of sacrifice and obedience to Allah.
