The holiday season is in full swing in the Philippines, which means it’s time for you to pay your Online Filipino Specialist the 13th month.
If you don’t know, here’s a full explanation of the 13th month.
If you already know about it and just want to know how to compute for it, the simplest method is to add all the money you’ve paid them throughout the year and divide by 12.
Super simple.
If you’re going to include a Christmas bonus, now’s a good time to send that too.
If you have a physical presence in the Philippines, the 13th month would be required. It’s law.
If you don’t have a physical presence, you’re not required to pay it. The 13th month is optional.
But if you can afford it, it’s a good motivator for your OFS. They’re more likely to be loyal, and it gives them something to look forward to at the end of the year.
