Good Day! I would like to know if Leave with pay is included in the deduction from basic salary in computing 13th month pay? Then, Leave with Pay was considered by our Agency as Absent, knowing absent and lates are factors in deducting for 13th month computation, is it possible that Leave with pay is equivalent to absent? Sample: Jan 2021 basic salary-leave with pay/s Total basic salary(leave with pay are deducted)/12 Thank you!

February 10, 2022 Dear Aple Mae Magora, Thank you for your request dated Feb 09, 2022 09:50:57 PM under Executive Order No. 2 (s. 2016) on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch. You asked for 13th Month Pay Computation. As a general rule, leave with pay should NOT be included in the deductible items in the computation of 13th Month Pay (Please see attached file). However, this does not include leave incurred under the Expanded Maternity Leave RA (11210) and Special Leave Benefits Under Magna Carta of Women (RA 9710). These laws provides for additional leave credits. Hence, these are deductible from the computation of 13th month pay. Based on the foregoing, aside from these additional leave benefits, absences falling under leave without pay may be deducted by the employer in the computation of 13th month pay. For further queries you may wish to call the DOLE Hotline 1349. Thank you. Respectfully, Mark Valeros FOI Receiving Officer
