MANILA - The Department of Labor and Employment on Thursday released compensation guidelines for regular and special holidays in 2019.

Workers get full pay on regular holidays. If they report for work on that day, they should get double their basic pay, the DOLE said.

For work done in excess of 8 hours, employees are entitled to an additional 30 percent of their hourly rate.

Next year's regular holidays include:

January 1 - New Year’s Day

December 25 - Christmas Day
December 30 - Rizal Day

Muslim holidays with dates still to be determined:

For special non-working days, a "no work, no pay" rule applies. But if the company compels an employee to work during these days, or if the employee chooses to go to work, the worker gets full pay plus 30 percent of his/her basic pay.

For work done in excess of 8 hours, employees are also entitled to an additional 30 percent of their hourly rate.

February 5 - Chinese New Year
February 25 - EDSA People Power Revolt
