employees benefit to those lay off employee

Good day/evening attorney

I am a regular employee of an enterprise company,single, Period Service: Feb. 24,2013 - April 20,2015, with monthly basic gross income of 8,731.00.basic monthly net income: 7650 and monthly allowance of 1000.00

What are the right benefits that will arise/receive/give to those employee who forced of voluntarily out of service because the company itself decided for cost-cutting to augment operational cost/investment payable. The company are aware that they already continuous declining going bankruptcy, so they decided to cut its operation cost and started to lay off an employee to get recover only.

*Is this a legal process?Explain sir.
*Are we entitled for separation and 13th month pay, if yes, how much based on article of Labor code?
*Have I right to demand an additional rate because we still working during holidays(philippine calendar holidays)and province executive order(provincial fiesta-requiring/mandatory to join festivity with executive order from the governor), if yes how much based on Labor code article?
*Is my salary is taxable, they are deducting tax 580 monthly, is it correct based on BIR article?
*Any suggestions/recommendation please?

Thank you and Godbless!

1. Yes, under Art 283 of the Labor Code.

ART. 283. Closure of establishment and reduction of personnel. - The employer may also terminate the employment of any employee due to the installation of labor-saving devices, redundancy, retrenchment to prevent losses or the closing or cessation of operation of the establishment or undertaking unless the closing is for the purpose of circumventing the provisions of this Title, by serving a written notice on the workers and the Ministry of Labor and Employment at least one (1) month before the intended date thereof. In case of termination due to the installation of labor-saving devices or redundancy, the worker affected thereby shall be entitled to a separation pay equivalent to at least his one (1) month pay or to at least one (1) month pay for every year of service, whichever is higher. In case of retrenchment to prevent losses and in cases of closures or cessation of operations of establishment or undertaking not due to serious business losses or financial reverses, the separation pay shall be equivalent to one (1) month pay or at least one-half (1/2) month pay for every year of service, whichever is higher. A fraction of at least six (6) months shall be considered one (1) whole year.

2. Yes, as above. The 13th month pay is pro-rated for the current year.

3. Demand? You should be paid the correct rates and premium payments (overtime, etc).
