Hi everyone,

May 13 was recently declared as a SPECIAL NON-WORKING HOLIDAY by Pres. Aquino. Following the Department of Labor’s guidance on paying out for special non-work days, this day will be a “no work, no pay” day. Those reporting to work on May 13, however, will get a 30% premium based on the same guidance.

Your managers will reach out to you soon to help determine what your plans are for Monday, May 13 so that proper team scheduling / coverage can be worked out.

Hello, team!

This coming Election Day, 13-MAY 2013, has been declared a Special Non-working Holiday.

Allow me to contextualize what this means for our attendance:
1. It’s a ‘no work, no pay’ day

2. If we wish to be out on and get paid, then we should have filed for vacation leave like our team members below:

3. If we opt to report for work, then we will be paid according to Section 2 of Memorandum Circular No. 01

To further support the few of us who are registered voters and want to practice our right to suffrage, we’d like to inform you that we will allow you to adjust your schedule so you can still fulfill the 9-hour office time entitling you to #3 above. Just please inform your respective Team Lead before THU 6:00 AM so we know when to expect you here.

If there should be any question around this, please send me an email copying your immediate Team Lead so we can answer you together.

Can DOLE act on this?

"no work no pay" shall be applied to [b]DAILY PAID EMPLOYEES[b] Monthly paid employees will get paid on May 13, 2013. Additional of 30% will be given to employees who worked on the said date.

Additional, monthly wage employee like you rommel is entitled to get payment on May 13, 2013 provided that you are present to work a day before the holiday or on paid leave to avail the holiday pay. No work no pay only applies for daily wage employees.

NILOLOKO KAYO NANG COMPANY MO! GUSTO LANG KAYO ISAHAN. Ireport nyo sa DOLE YAN.

unless there is a company ruling or company practice on special non working holiday.. no work no pay talaga yan.. hindi po kasi regular legal holiday yan..

as per DOLE:

"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."

maraming salamat po sa nag reply.

Mon-Fri lang regular work namin sa office. So, if papasok ako tomorrow dapat paid ako sa May 13, kahit na di ako nag file ng VL?

Ang sabi kasi sa amin, if di kami papasok ala kaming bayad. Pero kung may filed leave kami, may bayad kami.

yes tama rommel if you are present before the holiday you are entitled for holiday pay on monday. As per email by vane only daily wage employees are covered by no work no pay policy but since you are monthly wage employee bayad ka sa monday. Hindi na dapat gagamit ng paid leave bayad ka na nga ng araw na yun eh bakit kailangn mo mag file... suggestion, try to call nearest DOLE office and inquire your concern, ganito din sasabihin nila sayo.

tanong ko lang po kung pwede bigyan ng employer ang employee ng penalty pag di siya pumasok sa may 13?

may memo po yung hr namin na inadjust nila yung schedule na half day lang yung work kaya they expect as na pumasok. kaso malayo panggagalingan ko. so plano ko di pumasok.

tsaka kailangan ko pa po ba magpaalam na di papasok? at lalabas po ba na absent ako sa araw na yun?

thanks

Hi Magin, yes pwede ka bigyan ng penalty ng employer mo kapag nde ka pumasok on may 13. considering na may memo silang nilabas na half day kayo at need pumasok due to operation. tulad sa mga ibang company kapag holiday at required pumasok nagpapasok sila ng employees ang tawag doon ay skeletal manpower. though hindi lahat 100% papasok my irerequire na empleyadong pumsok on the particular holiday to do the work. kung ikaw inassign na pumasok ng half day ng may 13 at pumayag kang pumasok dapat pumasok ka that day. kung may concern ka better to talk to your leader para makagawa ng adjustment at kung hindi ka talaga makakapsok ay pwedeng hingian ka ng replacement. suggestion lang wag mo ng paabutin yung may 13 at hindi ka papasok at then may problema na.

Example sa company namin kapag may holiday or during rest day ng employee at nataon my production or shipment nagsskeletal manpower kami para naman masustain din yung needs ng company as well as to give chance to other employees na makapagpahinga during holiday at rest day. Sa amin ang rest day kapag may pinapasok is Overtime rate kapag hindi ka pumasok at wala kang valid reason upon return to work you will be issued an offense for failure to reder compulsory overtime. but if you have valid reason an hour before your actual working schedule like emergency or supporting documents to validate your absent like MC kung biglaang pagkakasakit mo then granted yung absent mo at wala kang offense.

Hope this will help you.

As per DOLE, "No work, No pay" nga daw kami. Lahat daw ng Special Non-Working Holiday ay ganito ang arrangement, except kung mayroong Policy or Practice ang opisina na paid ang ganitong holiday.

wala naman nabanggit kung monthly paid or daily paid sa guidelines nang DOLE.. basta special non working... no work no pay unless may policy or previous practice na ang company..

ive asked DOLE thru phone call re sinong bayad at hindi during special non-working holiday,. theyve confirmed na bayad ang monthly paid employees
