Pay transparency / TRAB.PH GUIDE

Night differential and overtime pay

The 10% night premium and the overtime multipliers every shift worker should know.

Night differential

Work performed between 10pm and 6am earns at least 10% on top of the regular hourly rate — for every hour in that window, not just whole shifts. BPO, logistics and security roles rely on this heavily; it applies on top of overtime earned in the same hours.

Overtime multipliers

Beyond eight hours a day: 25% extra on ordinary days, 30% on rest days and holidays. Work on a regular holiday pays double the daily rate even within eight hours, and rest-day work adds 30%. These stack with the night premium where they overlap.

Check the listing, then the payslip

Stated monthly pay on trab.ph covers the basic range — ask during interviews how night and overtime premiums are handled, then verify on your first payslip. Undeclared "all-in" packages that quietly absorb the premiums are the most common shortfall.
