Kaya’t ibigay n’yo na ang aming Christmas bonus; pati na ang 13th month pay para lahat okey na okey!
In just a few weeks from now, ting-distribute na sa 13th month pay; pero ang pangutana, apil ba ka? We took a look at the Department of Labor and Employment’s (DOLE) latest post from November 21, 2024, which outlines the Labor Advisory on 13th month pay provisions. Here’s what you need to know:
1 Month Na Ba Ka Sa Companya?
According to the Labor Advisory No. 13, Series of 2024, “any rank-and-file employee in the private sector regardless of their position, designation, or employment status, and irrespective of the method by which their wages are paid, provided that they have worked for at least one (1) month during the calendar year.”
In short, if you’ve been with your company for a month or more, you are eligible for the 13th month pay!
Pila Ang 13th Month?
The minimum amount for the 13th month pay should be at least 1/12th of the total basic salary you received throughout the calendar year. “Basic salary” refers to your regular salary and does not include the bonuses, allowances, and other monetary benefits (such as the cash equivalent of your unused leaves), unless your contract specifies that these are included in your basic pay.
Kanu-a Makuha Dapat ang 13th Month Pay?
The 13th month pay must be given on or before December 24, 2024. No company is exempt from this rule. To ensure compliance, employers are required to submit a report to the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) confirming they have provided the 13th month pay to their employees.
So, if you meet the eligibility requirements, get ready ug tara na dayun sa mga seat sale or andam na para magparebond, Sugboanons!
