13th Month Pay

Global Payroll for China delivers the 13THMNTH PAY earning as an example of how to provide 13^th Month Pay for your payees.

The system pays 13THMNTH PAY annually based on the previous 12 months' earnings.
The system calculates 13THMNTH PAY using a payee's base monthly salary only (annual salary/12, prorated for days worked during the month), not the actual MONTH SALARY earning. It also does not include any allowances or deductions in the calculation of 13THMNTH PAY.
For payees hired between the 1^st and 15^th of a month in the calculation year, 100% of their base monthly salary for the hire month and subsequent months contributes to 13THMNTH PAY. For payees hired after the 15^th of a month, 50% of the base monthly salary for the hire month and 100% of the base monthly salary for subsequent months contribute to 13THMNTH PAY.
The system prorates 13THMNTH PAY for unpaid vacation leave taken during the year, that is, leave days exceeding the annual leave entitlement.
