QUEZON City, Philippines – Senator Tito Sotto proposed a bill requiring employers in the private sector to give 14th month pay to its employees. Sotto added the the ten-peso increase in the minimum wage of private sector employees is too small and an extra income should be given to help them cope up with educational and medical expenses.
All rank-and-file employees, regardless of employment status and designation will be entitled to 14th month pay under the proposed law.
