List of 2026 Special Non-Working Days in the Philippines Officially Released
2026 SPECIAL NON-WORKING DAYS IN THE PHILIPPINES – You can check here the days next year when employees who report to work may receive an additional pay.
Every year, there are several holidays in the Philippines. Some are regular holidays while others are special non-working holidays. The main difference between these two types of holidays is the extra pay that employees who report to work may get.
Under a regular holiday, an employee who reports to work gets an extra pay that is additional to 100% of his/her basic pay for the first eight (8) hours of duty. In the case of offices and companies that do not operate during a regular holiday like the government agencies, the employees will not be subject to deductions despite of a “no work” day.
With regards to special non-working days, when an employee reports to work on a special non-working day, he/she is entitled to an extra pay that is equivalent to 30% of the basic day pay of the employee for the first eight (8) hours of duty.
