What some call as “holiday economics” will be felt, doubly felt, this month of August. Congress passed a new law (RA 9492), providing for “movable holidays”. Two movable holidays fall on the month of August – Ninoy Aquino Day<\/strong> Monday nearest August 21, which is August 20<\/strong>) and National Heroes Day<\/strong> (last Monday of August, which is August 27<\/strong>). (Update: Please note Proclamation No. 1353, which is conspicuously silent regarding the National Heroes Day). <\/p>\n

The computation of wages or salaries of workers (RA 9492, read together with Memorandum Circular No. 1), are computed as follows:For National Heroes Day<\/strong>, the following rules shall apply:<\/p>\n

\n* If worked<\/p>\n

– 1st 8 hours – 200%
\n– excess of 8 hours – plus 30% of hourly rate on said day<\/p>\n

b. If it is an employee\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s rest day:<\/p>\n

\n* If worked<\/p>\n

– 1st 8 hours – plus 30% of 200%
\n– excess of 8 hours – plus 30% of hourly rate on said day<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For Ninoy Aquino Day<\/strong>, being a nationwide special holiday, the following rules shall apply:<\/p>\n

The same law, however, provides that the holidays may be modified “by law, and\/or proclamation”, the latter referring to an act of the President. The law also requires that for movable holidays, the President shall issue a proclamation, at least 6 months prior to the holiday concerned, the specific date that shall be declared as a nonworking day.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
