To mark Cordillera’s 33rd Founding Anniversary, President Rodrigo Duterte declared July 15, 2020 as a Special Non-Working Holiday in the entire Cordillera Administrative Region (CAR).
Through Proclamation No. 977 signed by Executive Secretary Salvador Medialdea on July 7, 2020, the declaration of holiday on Wednesday, July 15, will allow residents of CAR to join the celebration and participate in appropriate ceremonies while observing applicable community quarantine guidelines and public health measures.
According to the Department of Labor and Employment – Cordillera Administrative Region, for work done during the special non-working holiday, the employee shall be paid an additional 30 percent of his/ her daily rate on the first hours of work [(daily rate x 130 percent) + COLA];
On the other hand, if the employee did not work, the “no-work, no-pay” principle shall apply, unless there is a favorable policy, practice or collective bargaining agreement (CBA) granting payment on a special day.
