Pro-rated ba ang 13th month pay kung mid-year lang ako nag-start?

I joined my company last May 2025 as a new grad. Now na-eexcite na ako sa December, pero may kasabihan ang mga officemate na hindi ako makukuha ng buong 13th month kasi hindi ako buong taon. Totoo ba na pro-rated na lang? Paano nila kinukwenta yun?

Same situation ako noong 2019, nag-start ako ng August tapos worried ako. Ang labas, mga limang buwan na basic divided by 12, so maliit talaga compared sa full year. Pero next year, buong taon ka na, so full ka na. One tip lang: some companies split ang 13th month into two, kalahati sa May, kalahati sa December. Kaya baka akala mo kulang, hinati lang pala. Tanungin mo ang HR mo kung one-time release ba o hinati. Wag ka mag-alala, susunod na taon full mo na yan. Ipon ka lang ngayon para hindi masakit.

Yes, pro-rated ito, and that is normal, hindi ka ni-shortchange. Sa understanding ko after years of computing payroll, the formula is basic salary earned for the year divided by 12. So kung nag-start ka May, roughly 8 months of basic salary na na-earn mo, divide by 12 yun ang 13th month mo. So mga two-thirds ng buong sweldo mo. Basic pa lang ha, hindi kasama ang OT at allowances sa computation. It should be released on or before December 24 by law. Baka gusto mong i-check ang payslips mo para makita mo ang total basic. Just a heads up lang, tama naman ang company mo dito.
