Official Pay Rules for Regular Holidays

To ensure proper compliance, please be guided by the following rules for wage computation for the regular holidays on June 6 and June 12, 2025.

1. If an employee does not work

If you do not work on these holidays, you are entitled to receive 100% of your daily wage. This is provided that you are present or on a paid leave of absence on the workday immediately preceding the holiday.

• Formula:

  BasicWage×100%

2. If an employee works on the holiday

For work done during the holiday, you shall be paid a total of 200% of your basic wage for the first eight hours.

• Formula:

  BasicWage×200%

3. If an employee works overtime

For work performed in excess of eight hours, you are entitled to an additional 30% of your hourly rate on that day.

• Formula:

  HourlyRate×200%×130%×NumberofHoursWorked

4. If an employee works on a holiday that is also their rest day

If the holiday also falls on your scheduled rest day, you shall be paid an additional 30% on top of the 200% holiday rate.

• Formula:

  BasicWage×200%×130%

5. If an employee works overtime on a holiday that is also their rest day

For overtime work on a regular holiday that also falls on your rest day, you shall be paid an additional 30% of your hourly rate on that day.

• Formula:

  HourlyRate×200%×130%×130%×NumberofHoursWorked

Be guided accordingly.
