[Kady_14]

How much is her pay? Divide that by 12 for twelve mos. then multiply how many mos na sya sa inyo.

pa-join mga sis...this thread is a great help...akala ko mandated na yung 13th month pay...3 kasambahay namin, 2 yaya and then 1 all-around. Yung 1 yaya at 1 all-around mag 1 year na by end of December so we are planning to give them 13th month. Kaso parang bigla ako nagdalawang-isip sa yaya kasi aalis na siya by March tapos nung nag-bakasyon siya, usapan namin in case of emergency like kung manganganak ako, need niya umuwi kasi wala mag-aalaga dun sa 1 year old ko anak...naasar lang ako kasi tinuloy parin niya bakasyon niya at nag extend pa...parang bigla ko naisip na walang concern...tapos lately puro nalang sugat yung anak ko....to think na yung 1 yaya ni assist siya kasi malaki narin yung 1 ko anak para alagaan nung 1 yaya...

buti pa yung iba sa inyo, seems like luck kayo sa mga kasambahay nyo...now problemado na sa paghahanap as early as now kasi hirap talaga maghanap nowadays... 2 yaya pa naman yung mawawala...

I give 13Th month pay also. Increase in salary after 1 year. i also give bonus twice a year and i made it clear na yung bonus e review ng perfromance nola every 6  months

[cynth_pink00]

Christmas nanaman and time to give the 13th month pay.  When is the best time kaya?

[bagaholic_chewy]

Gave their 13th month na kanina, kasabay ng December salary.

[mama squeak!]

I always give our Manang her 13th month pay on the last week of November. Her Christmas bonus (1/4 of her salary) I usually give sabay with her 1-15Dec pay.

[cynth_pink00]

^ mandatory ba magbigay ng christmas bonus? You give gifts too?

[mama squeak!]

^Christmas bonus, no. I give her to show our appreciation for her services. Talagang naasahan sa bahay kasi. For Christmas Day I also give her a small token para lang meron syang mabuksan sa araw ng Pasko.

[super bratinella]

naibigay ko na ang bonus ng yaya namin then plus gift para ganado at praying na tumagal siya sa amin.

[cynth_pink00]

Thanks for your replies.

Ill give my 13th month on the 15th nalang para malaki talaga young mahahawakan nila. 

What about sa salary increase sisses? Every year din ba? 

[super bratinella]

^For me sis every year nag taas ako, pero once may dinagdag ako sa chores nila na (like hatid-sundo sa school girl ko, or palaba sa pamangkin ng asawa ko nakikitira sa amin, etc) nag add ako ng separate pay dun on top sa pay niya.

[mama7]

Nitong June lang siya nag start uli after 2 years eh, medyo pinasakit niya ulo namin halos 2 months siya nawala kaya end of August na halos nag start as part timer. Ang makukuha niya sa akin na cash sa pasko is 1500 converted to Cellphone mag add daw siya 500 kasi SKK lang brand ng phone nya wala pang picture, guato niya Cherry mobile daw. Bigyan ko rin 1 medium bag imported chocolates na assorted. Yun muna kasi bago pa lang naman nag start siya ulit saka di pa niya ako naipagluto ng ulam na may sabaw hehe. Sa May birthday niya don na lang uli ako magbibigay grocery saka GC ng Jollibee.

Salary increase usually 6 months and at 1 year intervals. I give 13 month pay. Bonus i give half month when they go on vacation (after they have completed one year stay) and another half month salary for christmas bonus

[cheepee]

We give 13th month bonus + salary increase when due - usually kapag nakapag 1 year na sila. Last nanny we had may kasama pang gadget para di mabore while waiting sa bunso in school. Unfortunately for us, nagbakasyon at di na bumalik - tangay pa ang alahas ang isang kasamabahay at ibang gadgets namen (digicam, mobile phone etc). Almost 2 years sha sa amin.

[twelvth_goddess]

^Yan sis kaya natuto na kame na hinde magbigay hilig sa maids. Yung past three helpers ko, lage naman binibilhan ng gadget as a gift. Wala pa din utang na loob kahit anong pakisama mo.

I have a yaya now and she only started in December. Wala syang 13th month pay from us but we bought her a perfume.

[imeego]

Nagkaron kami ng orientation last night with the new helper and the yaya. We talked about our rules which include:

-2 weeks paid leaves convertible to cash if unused, this will be on top of their 13th month pay to be given on dec. pag nag exceed sa allowable 14 days kakaltasan na sweldo, para iwas abuso since super stressed ako sa ginawa nila
Last christmas di kami nagbigay ng additional bonus aside from the 13th month pay, kasi naman grabe sa dami ng bakasyon pero full salary pa din. Ayun wala akong gana na magbigay although they received christmas gifts from my MIL naman
-starting salary ng new helper is 3k while the younger, inexperienced one is 2.5k. Salary increase amounting to 500 depende sa performance, pwede after 3 months pag ok sila or after 1 year na pag nainis ako. Interval usually pag natuwa ako pwedeng every 6 mos increase ulit, kung deserving sila ha
-usually may birthday bonus sila pero 500 lang plus binibilhan namin ng cake
-im planning to give additional pay din for unused day off provided they work pa din ha, kasi one helper di nga nagday off pero nakahiga lang naman, not sure of the amount pa

[bluish_mommy]

yung helper ko 2months palang sa akin, binigyan ko ng GC worth P500. pag kinompute ko kasi ang 13th month nya nasa around P500 eh.

I have my kasambahay for 8months already. Her salary is 5000peso + 1400 for food allowance plus unlimited rice pag May tira kami food binibigay nmin sa kanya. Iba pa yung damit na di ko pa nasuot + accessories and bag etc. na binibigay ko, dalawa  kami and most of the time wala kami sa condo. She has her own room own 32 inches tv. Honestly Hindi kami contented sa paglilinis niya marami din siyang palpak. Gusto kona magpalit pero ang hirap kumuha ng bago tapos tuturuan ulit. Atleast kahit sobrang daming palpak hindi nman siya nag nagnanakaw. My concern is I gave her 500 cash along with it I gave her watch and dress for Christmas bonus. Pinagsama-sama ko na yung sweldo, food allowance and bonus and put it sa ampao, I told her what is in the ampao. However later on, she approached me If her salary was with the ampao too. When I said yes, I saw disappointment in her face. As her employer I feel bad, but her performance is really bad. FYI, we always gave her salary in advance. When she ask for money advance we gave her too with day off every week.

^sana sis naglagay ka ng breakdown dun sa angpao, alam mo naman pag pera ang usapan dapat malinaw pa sa sikat ng araw. Minsan kasi May mga tao na oo lang ng oo kahit di naiintindihan.
