DOLE explains pay rules for private sector workers

QUEZON CITY, Aug 7 (PIA) -- The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) explained pay rules for private sector workers with the suspension of work due to heavy rains around the metro on August 7.

DOLE Secretary Rosalinda Dimapilis-Baldoz said, “On the declared no-work day due to floods and typhoons, the applicable pay rules for daily wage earners in the private sector is ‘no work, no pay’.”

“If a worker or employer works, as required by the employer, on the day declared as no-work day, the employee is entitled to premium pay for a special day equivalent to 30 percent of basic pay. This premium will apply to both daily-paid and monthly-paid workers,” she said.

The Office of the President issued Memorandum Circular Nos. 33 and 33-A, suspending classes and work in the public and private sectors in the National Capital Region (NCR) and surrounding provinces because of heavy rains.
