Every Republic ActStraight answers
Can my employer withhold my final pay if I resign without 30 days' notice?No — your employer cannot keep your final pay as a penalty for short notice. DOLE requires final pay to be released within 30 days of separation. An employer may hold it while you return company property under its clearance process, and may pursue actual, proven damages that your short notice caused, but it cannot simply confiscate your pay.Not lawyer-reviewedHow is 13th-month pay computed, and what counts as basic salary?Add up the basic salary you actually earned during the calendar year and divide it by twelve — that is the whole formula, and it is due on or before 24 December. Overtime, holiday premium, night differential, allowances and COLA are excluded from basic salary, and you get a pro-rated share even if you resigned or were dismissed partway through the year.Not lawyer-reviewedI went AWOL. Can my employer just consider me resigned and keep my last pay?No on both counts. Absence alone is not abandonment, because the employer must also prove a clear intention on your part to sever the relationship, and it must still run the two-notice process before dismissing you. Your earned wages and pro-rated benefits are yours regardless, though days you did not work are unpaid.Not lawyer-reviewed
