DOLE issues pay guidelines for June 2025 holidays
The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) has issued pay guidelines for workers who will report for duty for Eid'l Adha and Independence Day.
According to Labor Advisory 8 s. 2025, the following payment pay rules shall apply for June 6 (Eid'l Adha) and June 12 (Independence Day), which are considered regular holidays:
lf the employee does not work, the employer shall pay 100% of the employee's wage for that day, provided that the employee reports to work or is on leave of absence with pay on the day immediately preceding the regular holiday. Where the day immediately preceding the regular holiday is a non-working day in the establishment or the scheduled rest day of the employee, he or she shall be entitled to holiday pay if the employee reports to work or is on leave of absence with pay on the day immediately preceding the non-working day or rest day (Basic wage x 100%)
For work done during the regular holiday, the employer shall pay a total of 200% of the employee's wage for that day for the first eight hours (Basic wage x 200%)
For work done in excess of eight hours, the employer shall pay the employee an additional 30% of the hourly rate on said day (Hourly rate of the basic wage x 200% x 130% x number of hours worked)
For work done during a regular holiday that also falls on the employee's rest day, the employer shall pay the employee an additional 30% of the basic wage of 200% (Basic wage x 200% x 130%)
For work done in excess of eight hours during a regular holiday that also falls on the employee's rest day, the employer shall pay the employee an additional 30% of the hourly rate on said day (Hourly rate of the basic wage x 200% x 130% x 130% x number of hours worked).
In May, Malacañang issued Proclamation 911, declaring June 6, 2025, Friday, a regular holiday throughout the country in observance of Eid'l Adha or the Feast of Sacrifice.
Eid'l Adha is one of the two important holidays in the Muslim calendar, the other being Eid'l Fitr, which marks the end of the holy fasting month of Ramadan.
During Eid'l Adha, Muslims slaughter sheep, goats, cows, and camels to commemorate Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son on Allah's command.
Meanwhile, Proclamation 727 included Independence Day as one of the regular holidays in the country. — VDV, GMA Integrated News
