actually i am not going to make any reply, i just don’t know where to go because i also have question regarding daily rate computation, I just would like to know how daily rate is being computed having a monthly salary of Php:15,700.00, because what i have learned from our company the daily rate is computed as 15700X12/365=516.16, but i overheard from a discussion working from other company with different computation as follows 15700X12X314=600. the divisor in our company is 365 days (number of days in a year) while other company is 314 days.Please enlighten me on this, thanks!

Atty.

Last 27 Sept 2011 during the onslaught of Typhoon PEDRING, our Company decided to send the employees home. Question is how will the company pay them specifically the daily paid and the monthly paid employees?

Pls enlighten us on this matter.

Good Day!!

Sir, i just to ask if there is an exact standard on how should the salary be counted, because i’m a bit confused with it comes on the counting of salary to be paid.

Ex: my previous company was counting our salary according to the number of days that we have worked enclosed within the period of 1-15 days..

While my current company have what they called “cut off period” where in they counted 15 days continuously (most of the time a week advance and we will get the pay day at the 15th) including Sunday (which is our rest day) Kinda weird and confused.

Hello there! I have a query on the computation of holiday pay. I work in a call center company. My friend who also works in a call center told me that if a regular holiday is worked and it falls on his rest day, he will be given +250% on top of his daily rate.

Let’s take this as an example.
My daily rate, say, is Php500.00. Dec 25 is a regular holiday. I worked on that day even if it’s my rest day. Should I be given +250% of my daily rate which is equivalent to Php1,250.00? What if it’s a special holiday, how much would be the pay for the day?

Please clarify as this brings a lot of confusion to everybody.

Your immediate attention is highly appreciate.

Thanks! Happy Holidays!

Hello Attorney,
I am a monthly paid and regular employee, Our company just release this policy that the employee is not entitled for a holiday pay if he/she didnt show-up before the day of the regular or legal holiday. The situation is like this, I wasnt able to work before the day of the Legal holiday because I am sick. The President declared Labor day to move this Monday which is May 3, so this means that the legal holiday falls on May 3 (Monday)and Saturday is our regular working day (May 1), this day is our critical working days so either the employee is sick or not, is required to work or if will provide a medical certificate and this day I wasnt able to show-up at work and had called the office. Is there any rule in labor code that if the employee dont work before the day of legal holiday or any holidays is not entitled to get paid? Please give your insights to this I am really confused. Thank you and more powers!

Hi,

I am an I.T. Consultant. My contract was recently renewed to a company I have been with for years now. However, I was told that there will be no holiday pay for me anymore. I am paid every month for a fixed salary. I am considered a Contractor since I am not a regular employee of the company. I don’t have paid leaves too (but this is acceptable because I am a contractor). My daily rate is computed as monthly rate divided by 21.8333. Given this computation, I can tell that I should get paid for holidays.

In my contract, there was no stipulation that I won’t get paid for holidays. They only advised me of this policy verbally.

I have a couple of questions:
1. Is the policy binding even if I was only told verbally and not stipulated in my contract?
2. Can the company legally do that (i.e. not pay me for holidays)? Is it their right?

I hope to hear from you soon.

Many thanks in advance!
