Did you work on Black Saturday? Pay Rules

Well if you did work last April 23, Black Saturday, here’s what you should know about what your pay should be.

President Benigno S. Aquino III has declared a special non-working day throughout the country and so to prevent confusion, DoLE released the pay rules applicable to that day.

"If Black Saturday, April 23, 2011 is worked, the employee is entitled to 130 percent of his daily rate for the first eight hours, and to an additional 30 percent of his or her hourly rate on the said day for work performed in excess of eight hours.

"On the other hand, if unworked, the worker or employee is not entitled to any payment, unless there is a favorable company policy, practice or collective bargaining agreement (CBA) granting payment for special days even if not worked;

"If the day is worked and it falls on the employee's rest day, the employee or worker is entitled for the first eight hours to 150 percent of his or her regular daily rate, and for work performed in excess of 8 hours, plus 30 percent of his or her hourly rate on the said day."

Both employer and employee should be informed of the pay rules for April 23. For questions and other feedback, you can get in touch with the DOLE Call Center at Hotline 2917 from your Globe or TM mobile phones, 908-2917 from your fixed-line phones for free, or text (SMS) us at 2910; if not, call or visit the Bureau of Working Conditions (BWC) located at 3/F, DOLE Building, Muralla Street cor.
