What is the strictly legal overtime pay rate on an ordinary working day?
Under the specific calculation guidelines of Article 87 of the Labor Code of the Philippines, ordinary overtime legally requires a specific baseline premium. For any continuous work done in excess of eight hours on a standard, ordinary working day, the employer must strictly provide an additional 25% of the hourly rate. The formula legally requires multiplying the basic hourly rate of the wage by exactly 125% for every single overtime hour rendered. This strict rule ensures a highly fair and legally binding baseline reward for basic extended daily labor. 15-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
