How it's calculated
13th month pay = total basic salary earned during the calendar year ÷ 12. Basic salary generally excludes items such as overtime, holiday and night-shift premiums and allowances not integrated into the basic pay — see the DOLE guidelines for details.
It must be paid not later than 24 December; employers may pay half earlier in the year. Employees who resigned or were separated are entitled to a proportionate amount.
