Is a resigned or separated employee still entitled to thirteenth-month pay?
Yes, an employee who has resigned or whose services are terminated is still entitled to this monetary benefit. The right to this pay accrues from the time they started working during the calendar year. As mandated by the rules under Presidential Decree No. 851, they must receive it even if separated before the time of payment. This protects the earned benefits of employees who leave a company mid-year. 17-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
