BECAUSE it’s a double holiday on August 21, Tuesday, workers who report on this day will receive bigger pay than when it’s single holiday.
Last Wednesday, Malacañang announced that August 21 is a holiday in celebration of Eid’l Adha.
August 21 has also been declared a holiday in celebration of Ninoy Aquino Day.
Luchel Tañiza, spokesperson of the Department of Labor and Employment, said workers who will report on this day will receive a 260-percent in his daily salary.
The 260 percent is because aside from the 100 percent salary, 100 percent is added if it’s a regular holiday and 30 percent when it’s a special non-working holiday.
“The National Commission on Muslim Filipinos has reccommended that 21 August 2018 be declared a national holiday,” said Proclamation 556 of the Office of the President signed by President Rodrigo Duterte and his executive secretary Salvador Medialdea.
Some people thought the Eid’l Adha holiday would be declared on Tuesday. (HBL of Superbalita Cebu)
