Hi, Would like to know if there's a propoer computation for the 13th month pay that private employees should recieve. Since it is a mandatory bonus, then I believe there is a proper way po of computing it, right? I was asked about this during my thesis defense (thesis entitled "Experiences of Occupational Health Nurses in a selected outsourcing company" Masteral thesis submitted ti PWU) since it is part of the compensations that employees recieve and would like to know if there is a proper way to compute it. Thank you & God bless.

Thank you for your message. Pursuant to Presidential Decree 851, the 13th month pay should not be less than one-twelfth (1/12) of the total basic salary earned by an employee in a calendar year. Specifically, the 13th month pay shall be computed as follows: Total basic salary earned during the year ÷ 12. For more information about 13th month pay and other worker' statutory monetary benefits, you may log in to www.dole.gov.ph. We hope we have clarified the matter.
