PRESIDENT Ferdinand “Bongbong” Marcos Jr. has declared October 31, 2022 as a special non-working holiday, Office of the Press Secretary officer-in-charge Cheloy Garafil said on Tuesday, October 18, 2022.
"The President has signed the proclamation declaring October 31 as a special non-working holiday, para na rin po marami tayong time kasama ang ating pamilya at para ma-promote na rin po ang ating local tourism (so that we can spend more time with our family and promote our local tourism)," Garafil said in a press conference.
Declaring October 31 as a holiday will pave the way for a long weekend as October 30 and November 1, 2022 were also both declared as holidays.
According to the Department of Labor and Employment, the “no work, no pay” policy applies during special non-working holidays.
If an employee reported to work on such days, he or she is entitled to 30 percent additional daily salary with an additional 30 percent if overtime.
For work done during a special day that also falls on his or her rest day, an employee will be paid 50 percent of his or her basic wage on the first eight hours and additional 30 percent for overtime. (SunStar Philippines)
