The Department Labor and Employment reminded employers nationwide to release the Year-End Benefits (YEB), popularly known as 13th month pay, of their employees not later than December 24.
In a statement, DOLE Secretary Marianito Roque said that based on the time-honored Presidential Decree No. 851 issued on December 16, 1976, all employers in the country are required to pay their employees a 13th month pay not later than December 24 of every year.
By definition of the law, the 13th month pay must not be less than one-twelfth (1/12) of the total basic salary earned by an employee in a calendar year.
However, Sec. Roque, emphasized that the 13th month pay should not be confused by workers with the Christmas bonus, which is discretionary on the part of the employers. He said that while the law definitely requires employers to pay their employees the 13th month pay, the Christmas bonus, on the other hand, remains, basically, a management prerogative.
In addition, the Labor Secretary advised employees who have not received the extra pay on or before Dec. 24 to report their management to the nearest DOLE office.
