How much is an employee paid if they do not work on a standard regular holiday?
Under the highly specific provisions of Article 94 of the Labor Code of the Philippines, an unworked regular holiday still guarantees baseline compensation. The employer is legally mandated to pay exactly 100% of the employee’s basic minimum wage for that specific day. However, this strict entitlement requires the employee to be present or on an approved leave of absence with pay on the workday immediately preceding the holiday. This ensures workers do not suffer severe financial detriment simply due to nationally mandated days of rest. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
