Sana po applicable din lahat ng paid holidays to those working in the house Like in hongkong.
Wala kme nyn holiday n yan
Our public holiday is not paid instead of paying it they are giving it as xtra off,,
This case its depends to the company some company giving you double pay if you working on holidays and give u another dayoff instead
If ur regular day off falls on official paid holiday…do u have another day off or u will be paid as overtime
Liberation day was 2days paid not 1 day and the total you count here was 13days not 11
I wonder if this applies to teachers too
What if a company is not paying this holidays
