Are workers paid on a piece-rate basis entitled to thirteenth-month pay?
Yes, workers who are paid on a piece-rate basis are explicitly entitled to receive thirteenth-month pay. Although task-based workers are generally exempt, the law provides a specific exception for piece-rate workers under Presidential Decree No. 851. Employers must grant this benefit to workers paid a standard amount for every piece or unit of work produced. This ensures that factory and manufacturing workers receive their proper annual bonuses. 17-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
