Pay Rules For Araw ng Bulacan – August 15, 2024
According to the 2022 Department of Labor and Employment Handbook on Workers’ Statutory Monetary Benefits, the “no work, no pay” principle should be followed during special non-working holidays like Bulacan’s foundation day anniversary.
This means that workers who are not required or permitted to work on August 15 in Bulacan are not entitled to any compensation unless there is a collective bargaining agreement or a company policy that provides for that.
The handbook likewise highlighted that employees who work during special non-working days are entitled to receive an additional pay of 30% for every hour that they render service.
