Moreover, Bello stated that on April 16, a special non-working day, the “no work, no pay” policy should apply.

Employees that provide service on a special day should be paid an additional 30% of their basic rate throughout the first eight hours of work. For overtime work, employees should be paid an additional 30% of their hourly wage.

As per DOLE, workers who perform services on their day off, which is a special day, should be paid an additional 50% of their basic wage for the first eight hours of their work. They will be paid an additional 30% if they work overtime.
