Good day! I would like to request for a legal opinion regarding a scenario wherein an employee who has a compressed work week where he/she during Saturdays work for only 4 hours out of 8 hours and the remaining 4 hours were distributed on his/her Tuesday to Friday work days. Now, on this Saturday, it falls for a working holiday. How would the compensation be computed? Would the holiday pay be cut in half considering he/she worked half the 8 hours? Kindly attach a legal basis. Thank you.

January 25, 2023 Dear Hyacinth Anne Cabading, Thank you for your request dated Jan 24, 2023 04:31:56 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for Holiday Pay Compensation Computation. May we refer you to DOLE Department Advisory No. 2 Series of 2004 Implementation of Compressed Work Week Schemes (Please see attached). It is said there that "Adoption of the CWW shall in no case result in a diminution of existing benefits." The remaining 4 hours of the Saturday work were still worked but only on different days. For the sake of argument, if these days will not be considered worked during Saturdays, then these must be subjected to overtime pay which we do not practice as this is part of an exemption in the CWW Scheme. Attached herewith is a copy of the policy for your perusal. Thank you. Respectfully, Mark Valeros FOI Receiving Officer
