Workers in enclosed environments such as factories, kitchens, and warehouses may experience heat stress due to poor ventilation, high humidity, and heat-generating equipment.

Creating a safer workplace means recognizing heat hazards—even indoors.

A safer and healthier workplace protects both workers and productivity.

Kapag may access sa support systems tulad ng open communication, HR support, at wellness programs, mas nagiging handa ang workers na harapin ang mga hamon sa trabaho.

Alagaan ang isip para sa mas ligtas at mas maayos na workplace.

📌 For Information: HOLIDAY ALERT
𝐑𝐄𝐀𝐃 | DOLE sets pay rules for Eid’l Fitr

Workers can expect holiday pay as the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) issued Labor Advisory No. 4, Series of 2026, prescribing the pay guidelines for employees who will report for work on March 20 in observance of Eid’l Fitr, declared a regular holiday under Proclamation No. 1189, Series of 2026.

According to the advisory, employees who will not report to work shall receive 100% of their wage that day, provided they are on approved leave of absence on the day immediately preceding the regular holiday (basic wage x 100%).

If the day immediately preceding the regular holiday is a non-working day in the establishment or the employee’s scheduled rest day, they shall still be entitled to holiday pay if they worked or were on approved leave of absence with pay on the day immediately preceding the non-working day or rest day.

Meanwhile, employees who render work during the regular holiday shall receive 200% of their wage for the first eight hours (basic wage x 200%).

Work performed beyond eight hours shall be paid an additional 30% of their hourly rate on that day (hourly rate of the basic wage x 200% x 130% x number of hours worked).

If the regular holiday also falls on the employee’s rest day and work is rendered, they shall be paid an additional 30% of the basic wage of 200% (basic wage x 200% x 130%). Overtime work on the same condition shall likewise be paid with an additional 30% of the hourly rate on the said day (hourly rate of the basic wage x 200% x 130% x 130% x number of hours worked).

The Department reminded employers to comply with the prescribed pay rules to ensure the proper payment of wages for employees during declared holidays.

For clarifications, the public is advised to contact the Bureau of Working Conditions (BWC), call the DOLE Hotline 1349, or coordinate with the DOLE Regional Office in their respective areas. END/JLO
