Last Update 6 mesi fa
The compensation structure for employees in the Philippines is strictly governed by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE), ensuring fair treatment for work performed during holidays, beyond regular hours (overtime), and late at night (night differential). This table summarizes the mandatory minimum pay rates required by Philippine Labor Law, detailing the applicable premiums and formulas for calculating an employee's daily wage based on the type of day and hours worked.
| Holiday Type | Employee Status | Pay Rate (DW is Daily Wage) | Equivalent Premium | Notes |
| Regular Holiday | Did not work | 100% of DW | DW | Requires employees to be present/on paid leave the day before. |
| Regular Holiday | Worked | 200% of DW | Double Pay | |
| Regular Holiday | Worked (on Rest Day) | 260% of DW | 200% DW + 30% of 200% | |
| Special Non-Working Day | Did not work | No pay | N/A | "No work, no pay" unless company policy states otherwise. |
| Special Non-Working Day | Worked130% of DW | 130% of DW | DW + 30% premium | |
| Special Non-Working Day | Worked (on Rest Day) | 150% of DW | DW + 50% premium | |
| Special Working Day | Worked | 100% of DW | Regular Pay | Treated as an ordinary working day. |
These premiums are calculated on top of the applicable hourly rate for that day/shift.
| Premium Type | Scenario | Premium Rate (Applied to the hourly rate of the day) | Computation |
| Overtime (Regular Day | Work in excess of 8 hours on an ordinary workday. | +25% of the hourly rate (HR). | {HR} x 125% |
| Overtime (Any Holiday) | Work in excess of 8 hours on a Regular or Special Holiday. | +30% of the hourly rate on that day (e.g., 200\% HR for Regular Holiday OT). | {Daily Rate} x {Applicable Holiday Rate} x 130% |
| Night Differential | +10% of the hourly rate (HR). | {HR} x 110% |
When a premium overlaps (e.g., Overtime on a Regular Holiday with Night Differential), the premiums are applied in layers:
| Overlapping Scenario | Total Hourly Rate Formula Example |
| Regular Holiday OT + Night Diff | {HR} x 200% x 130% x 110% |
| Ordinary Day OT + Night Diff | {HR} x 125% x 110% |
Night Shift Differential (ND) of 10% applies to hours worked between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM (Private Sector).
Overtime (OT) is always calculated based on the employee's regular wage plus any applicable daily premium (e.g., the 200\% rate for a regular holiday, or the 130\% for a special non-working day).
