Is the government required to pay thirteenth-month pay under Presidential Decree No. 851?
The government and any of its political subdivisions are strictly not covered by Presidential Decree No. 851. This exemption includes government-owned and controlled corporations. However, the law provides an exception for those corporations that operate essentially as private subsidiaries of the government. Thus, standard civil servants receive their bonuses under different specific government statutes rather than this private sector decree. 17-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
