13th Month Pay

Hi, tanong lang po. Resigned po ako sa company last December 11, 2015 due to family matters. Kaso yung employer ko po nagbigay na sila ng 13th month pay sa kasamahan ko last Dec.15, 2015 lang. Tapos ako po hindi kasali kasi sabi nila next year ko pa po raw makukuha 13th month pay ko kasabay raw po ng tax refund ko if meron.

Actually regular employee po nila ako for almost 3yrs. I was hired November 6, 2012.

Please pa advice po if kelangan ko po ba sila kulitin sa 13th month pay ko po. Kasi upon reading the labor code dpat ibigay yung wla pang 24th of the month. Gusto ko lang po sana maka sigurado bago po ako mag reklamo sa comoany ko po.

Maraming salamat.

(My Tagalog is bad, so I'm not sure if I understood all enough to answer proper.)

You are entitled to "13th month" pay, but a bit less than a full month, because you didn't work the whole year. (Around 3/52 part less.)

Some companies are very slow at paying the last pay. Haven't you got it yet?
IF you have got "last pay" allready - Are you sure 13th month was not included in last pay?

Hi, thank you for the time. I did not received my 13th month yet. I just recieved my last salary Dec.15 for the days I've worked. So I asked my company why I did not recieved any 13th month, they jist said I will just get it next month includinf the tax refund if thers any.

I see they included it in last pay. Yes, last pay is often later, because they need to count more things then.

But why will they include it in my back pay sir? I tenderd my resignation last nov.11 and effective dec.11. But on the labor code 13th month pay should be given before 24. Thank you sir.

Wait for your final pay to see if they included the 13th month.

generally pag naka trabaho ng at least 1 month makakakuha ng 13th month.

Kapag pumasok ka at least one month entitled ka na for 13th month pay and according to law dpat bnbgay ang 13th month pay on or before dec. 25

Do toy mean your friend started or ended work in July?
/If started 1 July.
If I have understood corect, your friend is qualified to get 1/12 of a month salary for each month worked (counting days). = Geting around a half month salary extra.
/If ended in July.
Then I asume your friend got that included in the last pay,

Past year. Wla po kami kaltas s 13th month pag may absent. Mga 3 yrs po. Tapos bigla po nilang binago. Kinaltasan n po kami. Nsa batas po n may kaltas po tlga ang 13th month. Dba meron pong tinatawag n company practise policy.
