Signed by DOLE director, Secretary Bienvenido Laguesma, all employees and employers will apply “no work, no pay.”
For those asking, “Is November 1 double pay or not?” The answer is no. However, November 2 is double pay.
For your guide, November 2 falls under the “Work on a special holiday that falls on a rest day” unless you work Mondays through Saturdays regularly.
According to DOLE, this principle would require employers to pay working employees 200% of their daily wage plus 30%. Overtime workers are entitled to an additional 30% of their hourly wage.
