How does the “no work, no pay” principle legally apply to special non-working days?
According to the baseline principles linked to Articles 91-93 of the Labor Code of the Philippines, special non-working days generally do not legally guarantee unworked compensation. The strict and unyielding “no work, no pay” principle completely applies unless there is a highly favorable company policy or a Collective Bargaining Agreement dictating otherwise. Workers who are neither physically required nor explicitly permitted to work on these specific days are completely unentitled to any baseline compensation. This fundamental rule distinctly and legally separates the treatment of special days from highly protected regular holidays. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
