Rank-and-file employees who physically work between 10 PM and 6 AM (Philippine time) receive night differential pay. This applies to Outstaffer EOR (Employer-of-Record) employees in the Philippines.
Night differential is paid only for work actually rendered in that window. Managerial employees are not entitled.
Work must be rendered in the window:
If you are on PTO (paid time off), you do not get night differential for those hours, because no work was rendered.
A shift ending at 9:50 PM earns no night differential, because the window starts at 10 PM.
The rate is applied automatically to your qualifying night hours.
Where an employee works fixed hours, night differential is calculated from their work schedule and billed to the employer in advance, before payroll runs. A line can therefore appear on the employer's invoice for an employee who is not entitled to it. Where it is not payable, it is credited back to the employer in the monthly reconciliation. This does not affect your pay.
