How does the labor law officially define overtime pay for all covered employees?
According to the highly specific text of Article 87 of the Labor Code of the Philippines, overtime pay is a universally and legally mandated additional compensation. It specifically and strictly refers to the supplementary payment required for any physical work performed beyond the standard eight hours in a single calendar day. This foundational law thoroughly ensures that workers are financially rewarded for extending their physical labor past normal legally established limits. Overtime pay is critically essential for preventing rampant employee exploitation and forcefully discouraging excessive, uncompensated daily work shifts. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
