Dole reminds employers about early release of 13th month pay

Labor Secretary Silvestre Bello III reminded employers about the timely release of the 13th month pay of their workers.

Bello issued the reminder through Labor Advisory No. 18-2018.

“The law requires employers in the private sector to pay their rank-and-file employees a 13th month pay on or before Dec. 24 of every year, and all covered employers are reminded to comply,” Bello said. —Tina G. Santos
