Rules and Regulations on the Computation and Payment of Daily Wage
DBM Budget Circular No. 004-03, issued on September 26, 2003, outlines the rules for calculating and paying daily wages for casual government employees in the Philippines. The daily wage is determined by dividing the authorized monthly salary by 22 working days, in accordance with the Salary Standardization Law (RA No. 6758). Compensation is based on a "No Work No Pay" policy, meaning employees are only paid for days they actually work, with no wages for rest days or holidays unless worked. Agency heads are responsible for ensuring compliance with these regulations, and any issues not covered by the Circular should be addressed to the Department of Budget and Management.
