I am a resigning employee from a private company and is curious as to if I am eligible to received my 13th month pay.
This year, my stay in the company is from January 1 to November 17.
From what I understand upon reading PD 851 at DOLE webpage, I am eligible for the 13th month pay since I worked for more than one month.
What is bothering me is section E. Exempted Employers section.
Specifically, I want to fully understand E.2:
"2. Employers who are already paying their employees thirteenth- month
pay or more in a calendar year or its equivalent at the time of the
issuance of PD 851;"
I think this will help me be enlightened as to if my employer is required to give me the pay or not.
Thanks in advance!
