How the ₱28,000 holiday pay is computed
Daily rate: ₱28,000 × 12 ÷ 261 working days = ₱1,287 for a Monday–Friday schedule (÷ 313 for Monday–Saturday: ₱1,073). Hourly: ₱161.
- Regular holiday, worked: ₱1,287 × 200% = ₱2,575. Overtime: ₱418 an hour.
- Regular holiday, not worked: still paid 100%, ₱1,287, if you were present (or on paid leave) the workday before.
- Special day, worked: ₱1,287 × 130% = ₱1,674. Overtime: ₱272 an hour.
- Regular holiday on your rest day: 260%, ₱3,347.
Work every remaining holiday this year and you earn about ₱7,336 more than on ordinary days. That lands with your December cutoffs, right when the 13th month and Pasko gastos arrive, so plan where it goes.
