On Sept. 9 all employers are obliged to pay an additional 30 percent of the worker's salary because this is a special holiday while on Sept. 12, employers are mandated to pay 200 percent because it is a Regular Holiday.

The computation of holiday benefits is the daily salary rate multiplied by 30 percent for Sept. 9 and times 200 percent for Sept. 12,Sarcauga said.
