Calculation Formulas & Steps
1. Base Daily & Hourly Rate
Hourly rate is calculated as Daily Rate divided by 8 hours.
2. Holiday Pay Multiplier
Regular Holiday worked (200%), Regular Holiday unworked (100%), Special Day worked (130%), Special Day on Rest Day worked (150%), Regular Holiday on Rest Day worked (260%).
3. Overtime on Holiday (if applicable)
Overtime on a regular holiday is paid at 260% (200% × 130%), or 338% on a rest day overlap.
Assumptions & Rules
- To receive 100% unworked regular holiday pay, the employee must be present or on paid leave on the workday immediately preceding the holiday.
- Special non-working holidays follow the 'no work, no pay' principle unless company policy or CBA states otherwise.
Exclusions & Edge Cases
- Managerial employees and establishments employing fewer than 10 workers for regular holiday pay under Article 94.

Regular Holiday vs Special Non-Working Day
In the Philippines, public holidays fall into two distinct legal categories with different pay rules:
- Regular Holiday (e.g. New Year, Maundy Thursday, Independence Day, Christmas): 100% pay if unworked; 200% pay if worked (first 8 hrs); 260% if worked on rest day.
- Special Non-Working Day (e.g. Ninoy Aquino Day, All Saints' Day): 'No work, no pay' if unworked; 130% pay if worked (first 8 hrs); 150% if worked on rest day.
Questions people ask next
What if a regular holiday falls on my rest day?
If unworked, you receive 100% regular holiday pay. If worked, you receive 260% of your regular daily wage for the first 8 hours.
What happens if two regular holidays fall on the exact same date?
Under DOLE rules, a Double Regular Holiday (such as Araw ng Kagitingan and Maundy Thursday falling on the same day) entitles unworked employees to 200% pay, and worked employees to 300% pay (390% if on a rest day).
