The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has issued pay rules for June 12, a regular holiday, when the country commemorates 128th Independence Day.
In Labor Advisory No. 11, Series of 2026 signed by Secretary Francis Tolentino, the DOLE reminded private sector employers on the proper payment of workers.
Based on the pay rules issued on June 5, employees who will report for work on a regular holiday, shall receive a total 200 percent of the salary for that day for the first eight hours (basic wage x 200 percent).
For work done in excess of eight hours, the employer shall pay the employee an additional 30 percent of the hourly rate (hourly rate of the basic wage x 200 percent x 130 percent x number of hours worked).
If the employee went to work during a regular holiday that also falls on a rest day, the employer shall pay the worker an additional 30 percent of the basic wage of 200 percent (basic wage x 200 percent x 130 percent).
For work done in excess of eight hours during a regular holiday that also falls on the employee’s rest day, the employer shall pay the employee an additional 30 percent of the hourly rate (hourly rate of the basic wage x 200 percent × 130 percent x 130 percent x number of hours worked).
Meanwhile, if the employee does not work, the employer shall pay 100 percent of the employee’s wage for that day, provided that the employee reports to work or is on leave of absence with pay on the day immediately preceding the regular holiday.
Where the day immediately preceding the regular holiday is a non-working day in the establishment or the scheduled rest day, the employee is entitled to holiday pay if the employee reports to work or is on leave of absence with pay on the day immediately preceding the non-working day or rest day (basic wage x 100 percent).
