Greetings! And hope you are all doing well! Since our salary is received through Banks' ATM, and counting centavos is mostly no longer being done, may I seek from your good office to impose all employers to stop rounding down net pay of salaries to nearest 10centavos. ie. 735.6321839 Php, If the centavo (mamera) number is five or more, increase the cents by 1. If the number is four or less, keep the cents the same. So, 735.63 Php should be the amount to be paid to employees and not rounding it down to 735.60 Php. Basically, No To Rounding Down. Thank you in advance.

Our response to your request is due on Apr 01, 2022 07:34:39 PM. Unfortunately, it is taking longer than expected to deal with your request due to volume of requests received.
