My friend is a former manager of a cooperative in Palawan, Philippines.
He resigned after serving 7 months. It has been the practice of the cooperative to give 13th month pay to all employees including managerial position. Recently, an officer of the cooperative questioned the computation of 13th month pay for the resigned manager which is due to be given this December.
Is the resigned manager still entitled to the 13th month pay?
Mag inquire lng po, kmi po ng asawa ko is working in government agency as JOB ORDER, at no employeer employee relatioship. Tanong ko lng are we covered po ba ng 13th month pay kc ever since never pa kmi nkatanggap ng 13th month pay o anumang bunos 4years na po ako s work at 3 years n din ung husband ko.
I am working with a private construction company here in the Philippines. Recently, I receive my 13th moth pay in which it is less than I expected. I asked our accounting department and I have learned that they are treating the 13th month computation as pro-rated to our attendance. Meaning they are also deducting our previous absences from the 13th month pay. Is this allowed by our governing employment laws?
Yes the computation of the 13th month pay is based on your attendance.
example: P12,000 monthly salary; 12,000/12months = 1,000/month.
if your total attendance will equate to 11.5 months, you will be given 11,500 as 13th month pay.
if you only work for 6 months, you will only get 6,ooo given the above example
