말라까냥에선 4월 7일을 특별 휴일로 발표 했으며 이에 따라 해당일 근무자에게는 기본급의 최소 130%를
그리고 만일 휴식일인 경우 기본급의 최소 150%를 지급해야 한다고 노동청 장관이 강조했습니다.
Workers will get additional pay if they will report for work on Black Saturday, the labor department said yesterday.
Labor Secretary Rosalinda Baldoz said those who would work on April 7 would get an additional 30 percent on top of their daily basic pay for the first eight hours of work.
“At least 50 percent over and above the basic pay, or a total of 150 percent would be given to a worker required to work on said day, which may be his or her scheduled rest day,” Baldoz said.
Malacañang earlier declared Black Saturday, which falls between Good Friday and Easter Sunday, a special non-working day throughout the country.
However, Baldoz said the no work no pay policy would also be implemented, unless there is an agreement between workers and employers that provide for payment for special non-working days.
Workers who will report for work today and tomorrow as well as on April 9 (Araw ng Kagitingan) shall be receiving additional pay.
Baldoz reminded employers nationwide to observe the proper pay rules and provide their workers the mandated benefits.
