Kung isa ka sa mga “Team Office” o “Team Duty” ngayong February 17, 2026, siguradong ang tanong mo ay: “Magkano ba ang dagdag sa sahod ko?” Dahil ang Chinese New Year ay classified bilang isang Special Non-Working Holiday sa ilalim ng Proclamation No. 1006, narito ang mabilisang computation guide para hindi ka malito sa iyong next payslip.
1. The “No Work, No Pay” Rule
Dahil ito ay isang Special Non-Working Day, ang basic rule ay “no work, no pay.” * Kung hindi ka pumasok: Wala kang matatanggap na sahod para sa araw na ito (unless may favorable company policy o CBA kayo).
- Kung pumasok ka: Dito na papasok ang iyong premium pay!
2. Holiday Pay Computation (Special Non-Working Day)
Narito ang breakdown base sa guidelines ng DOLE:
| Scenario | Computation Formula | Sample (If P1,000 Daily Rate) |
| Pumasok (First 8 Hours) | Basic Wage x 130% | P1,300 |
| Overtime (Lampas 8 Hours) | (Hourly Rate x 130% x 130%) x Excess Hours | P211.25 per hour |
| Pumasok (On your Rest Day) | Basic Wage x 150% | P1,500 |
| OT on Rest Day | (Hourly Rate x 150% x 130%) x Excess Hours | P243.75 per hour |
3. Bakit mahalaga ang Feb 16?
Kung balak mong mag-leave sa February 16 (Monday) para i-bridge ang Valentine’s Weekend sa CNY, take note: Ang holiday pay sa Feb 17 ay hindi affected kung naka-leave ka noong Feb 16 or hindi. Unlike Regular Holidays (tulad ng New Year), wala itong “present or on leave with pay the day before” requirement para makuha ang premium rate kung sakaling papasok ka.
4. Summary for HR & Employees
- Feb 14 (Sat): Valentine’s Day (Ordinary Working Day – Regular Pay)
- Feb 16 (Mon): Ordinary Working Day (Perfect for Bridging Leave!)
- Feb 17 (Tue): Chinese New Year (Special Non-Working Holiday – +30% Pay)
