To illustrate the pay rules:

If the employee in NCR did not work on a regular holiday, he shall be paid 100% of the wage. Since the NCR rate will be used there is no COLA.

Formula:    [(Basic Wage + COLA) X 100%]

Illustration:

PhP537.00 x 100%       = PhP537.00

If the employee worked on the regular holiday he shall be paid 200% of his wage for that day for the first

eight hours.

Formula:    [(Basic Wage + COLA) X 200%]

Illustration:

PhP537.00 x 200%    = PhP1,074.00

If the employee worked in excess of eight hours or overtime work, he shall be paid additional 30% of his hourly rate on said regular. For instance, he worked for two (2) hours.

Formula:    [(Hourly Rate of the Basic Wage X 200% x 130% x number of hours worked]

Illustration:

PhP537.00 / 8 hours = PhP67.13

OT work rate 130%

OT work is 2 hours

PhP67.13 x 200% x 130% x 2

PhP134.25 x 130% x 2

PhP174.53 x 2

PhP349.06

Thus:

First 8 hours                                   PhP 1,074

OT Work of 2 hours                         PhP349.06

TOTAL PAY                           PhP1,423.06

If the employee worked on regular holiday which also falls on his rest day he shall be paid additional 30% of the basic wage of 200%.

Formula:    [(Basic Wage + COLA) 200%] + [30% (Basic Wage  x 200%)]

Illustration: (Disregard COLA there being no COLA in NCR)

[PhP537.00 x 200%] + [30% (PhP537.00 x 200%)]

PhP1,074.00 + [30% (PhP1,074.00)]

PhP1,074.00 + PhP322.20

PhP1,396.20

         If he rendered overtime work on a regular holiday which falls also on his rest day, he shall be paid an additional 30% of his hourly rate on said day. For instance, he worked for 2 hours.

Formula:    (Hourly rate of the basic wage x 200% x 130% x 130% x number of hours worked)

Illustration:

PhP537.00 / 8 hours = PhP67.13

OT work rate 130%

OT work is 2 hours

PhP67.13 x 200% x 130% x 130% x 2

PhP134.26 x 130% x 130% x 2

PhP174.538 x 130% x 2

PhP226.90 x 2

PhP453.80

Thus:

First 8 hours (rest day)          PhP 1,396.20

OT Work of 2 hours                         PhP   453.80

TOTAL PAY                                   PhP1,850.00
