How is the proportionate thirteenth-month pay computed?
The proportionate thirteenth-month pay is computed by dividing the total basic salary earned during the year by 12 months. This formula ensures that the employee receives exactly one-twelfth of their actual annual basic earnings. This mathematical standard is mandated under the guidelines of Presidential Decree No. 851. Using this exact formula protects employees from being underpaid based on arbitrary company calculations. 17-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
