- Special non-working days pay 130% if you work: ₱1,195 on ₱20,000. Nov 1, 2026 falls on a Sunday, so for a Monday–Friday worker it's a rest day and pays 150%.

- Daily rate = monthly salary × 12 ÷ 261 for a Monday–Friday schedule (÷ 313 for Monday–Saturday). Each salary page shows both.

How does holiday pay work for monthly-paid employees?
Your monthly salary already includes pay for regular holidays you don't work, so you see no extra line for them.

Daily-paid workers are paid per day, so the holiday premium shows up as its own amount.
