The “no work, no pay” rule will be applied during the commemoration of the EDSA People Power Revolution on 25 February.
This follows Malacañang’s inclusion of the EDSA anniversary in the 2025 holiday list while removing its non-working status.
The Department of Labor and Employment (DoLE) reiterated that it will be considered an ordinary working day for wage and benefit purposes.
“If the employee does not work, the ‘no work, no pay’ principle shall apply unless there is a favorable company policy, practice, or collective bargaining agreement granting payment on a special working day,” DoLE said.
For work done on a special working day, the employer shall pay 100 percent of the employee’s wage for the first eight hours.
For work beyond eight hours, the employer shall pay an additional 25 percent of the hourly rate.
