Book III — Conditions of Employment

Article 86Night shift differential.

PD 442 · Labor Code of the PhilippinesELI5 guide available

ELI5— what this means for you

Every hour you work between 10 PM and 6 AM earns your regular hourly rate PLUS 10% more. This stacks with overtime — a midnight overtime hour earns you your rate + 25% overtime + 10% night differential. BPO workers: this applies to you.

Key point

Night shift = +10% per hour. Stacks on top of overtime. Both are owed.

Official text — PD 442

Night shift differential.

Every employee shall be paid a night shift differential of not less than ten percent (10%) of his regular wage for each hour of work performed between ten o’clock in the evening and six o’clock in the morning.
