Cancellation of OT authorization for today February 25, 2014

Memorandum:

TO         :   All SBUs

Subject  :   Recall of OT authorization for today.

It was announced over the radio that only schools are on holiday, today being a special holiday.

We reviewed the proclamation No 655, the basis of the said OT authorization, and indeed it is a special holiday intended for school only.  That it was a holiday is not specified or that 15% OT rate is inaccurate, and is not factual/evidenced based. 

It is strongly suggested that we are accurate with the data supplied to this office/3ffb And that 3ffb is careful in making this office signs office orders signed on erroneous information

Please be properly warned.

From PhilNews - February 25 is not a holiday

Rules for schools who have work: (we are not a school are we?)

Here’s the Pay Rules for those who are working in Private & Public Schools:

• If the employee did not work, the “no work, no pay” principle shall apply, unless there is a favorable company policy, practice, or collective bargaining agreement (CBA) granting payment on a special day.
• If the employee worked, he/she shall be paid an additional 30 percent of his/her daily rate on the first eight hours of work. Computation: [(Daily rate x 130%) + COLA).
• If the employee worked in excess of eight hours (overtime work), he/she shall be paid an additional 30 percent of his/her hourly rate on said day. Computation: (Hourly rate of the basic daily wage x 130% x 130% x number of hours worked).
• If the employee worked during a special day that also falls on his/her rest day, he/she shall be paid an additional fifty percent of his/her daily rate on the first eight hours of work. Computation: [(Daily rate x 150%) + COLA].
• If the employee worked in excess of eight hours (overtime work) during a special day that also falls on his/her rest day, he/she shall be paid an additional 30 percent of his/her hourly rate on said day. Computation: (Hourly rate of the basic daily wage x 150% x 130% x number of hours worked).

 Keep in mind that February 25, 2014 is NOT a special non-working holiday. According to Proclamation 655, February 25 is a special holiday but for schools only. As someone who’s currently working for a school, this is good news for me. :p
