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.

II. Overtime (OT) and Night Differential (ND) Rates

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%
Example of Stacking Premiums:

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%
Important Notes:

  • 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).
