gud day!
im working in a call center company and just last year our company released a memorandum that they’ll be deducting leaves such as; LOAM and maternity to our 13th month pay. My question is i had maternity leave for 2months and i dont know how to compute the 13th month pay less my ML for 2months. And is that also legal that they have to deduct MATERNITY LEAVE to our 13th month pay?

if i had my maternity leave for two months, will that be deducted from my 13th month pay? meaning, the computation will be 10/12? is that legal?

We are always thinking that the 13th month is not taxable. Yes it is, but to a certain limit. It is non-taxable up to an amount of P30,000. Any amount above that is subject to tax. AND don’t limit it to just the 13th month pay, you should add your other bonuses to this (mid-year, performance, etc.). All amounts in excess of P30K will be included on your gross taxable income which (as it already implies) are subjected to tax. Example: You’re receiving the following:

13th Month Pay: 25K
Performance Bonus: 20K
Total : 45K Php

Out of the P45K you received, P15,000 is added to your taxable income instead of the whole 45K (P30K is deducted)
