What does mandatory pay mean?
On mandatory-pay holidays, if your employer asks you to work, they must pay you double your wage for that day. On non-mandatory holidays (like August 2 or October 12), double pay is not required by law. Per the Labor Code (art. 148). Check your case with the Ministry of Labor (MTSS).
