Step by step: working on Christmas Day
- Hourly rate: ₱755 ÷ 8 = ₱94.375.
- Christmas Day is a regular holiday, so the first 8 hours pay 200%: 8 × ₱94.375 × 2 = ₱1,510.00.
- Overtime on a regular holiday pays 260% of the hourly rate: ₱245.38 per hour.
- If Christmas falls on your rest day (for example, you rest on Fridays), the rate is 260%: ₱1,963.00 for 8 hours.
Christmas Eve and New Year’s Eve
24 and 31 December are special non-working days. If you work 8 hours, you get 130%: ₱981.50. If it is also your rest day, 150%: ₱1,132.50. If you don’t work, there is no pay unless your company grants it.
To be paid for a regular holiday you didn’t work
You must be present at work, or on paid leave, on the working day right before the holiday. If the day before is a non-working day for your company (for example, your office is closed on 24 December) or your rest day, you still get Christmas Day pay as long as you worked, or were on paid leave, on the day right before that non-working day or rest day.
Use the calculator to change the day type, add overtime or night hours, or switch to your own daily or monthly rate.
Planning around the holidays
If your company runs a skeleton crew over Christmas, ask early which days count as regular holidays and which are special days — the pay difference is big. Overtime on Christmas Day pays 260% of your hourly rate, and night work adds 10% on top.
