The “no work, no pay” policy applies on All Saints’ Day, the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) reported yesterday.

Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said Nov. 1 is a special non-working day nationwide and employers must abide by proper pay rules and core labor standards.


Baldoz said the DOLE already issued the necessary guidelines to allow employers nationwide to properly comply with the pay rules.

“The proper observance of the pay rules and core labor standards on this special non-working day promotes decent work, the productivity of workers and competitiveness,” Baldoz said.

Under the law, an employee who will choose not to report for work during a special non-working holiday shall not receive any salary for the day.

“If the employee did not work, the no work, no pay principle shall apply, unless there is a favorable company policy, practice, or collective bargaining agreement (CBA) granting payment on a special day,” Baldoz explained.

However, those who will report for work on All Saints’ Day shall be paid an additional 30 percent of daily rate on the first eight hours of work.

For work done in excess of eight hours, a worker shall be paid an additional 30 percent of hourly rate, Baldoz said.

Those who will report for work during a special day that also falls on their rest day shall be paid an additional 50 percent on the first eight hours of work.


Work done in excess of eight hours during a special day that also falls on day off, Baldoz said, shall be paid an additional 30 percent of hourly rate.
