What constitutes “basic salary” for computing the thirteenth-month pay?
The “basic salary” of an employee includes all remunerations or earnings paid by his or her employer for services rendered. This base figure is crucial for accurately computing the thirteenth-month pay under Presidential Decree No. 851. It strictly focuses on the regular compensation the employee receives for their standard work period. Understanding this definition is vital to ensure compliance with the precise computation mandated by law. 17-May-26About Nicolas and De Vega Law Offices
