DOLE: 13th-month pay mandatory under penalty of business closure

THE Department of Labor and Employment reminds private employers that payment of their employees’ 13th-month bonus is mandatory.

While the law mandates the payment of the 13th-month stipend on or before Dec. 24, Laguesma said an earlier disbursement would benefit the workers, especially amid rising prices.

Meanwhile, the DOLE also advised employers to properly pay workers who would render work for the five holidays this December.
