13th Month in the Philippines and Prima in Colombia – Saying Thanks During the Festive Season

Now that we are in December, I want to highlight an upcoming employee benefit in both the Philippines and Colombia – 13th month and Prima.

Philippines’ 13th Month Pay: More Than Just Extra Cash

In the Philippines, every December feels a bit like a bonus round. The 13th month pay isn’t just a nice-to-have; it’s a must-have by law. It’s like getting a thank you card from your employer, but instead of sweet words, you get an extra month’s salary!

Colombia’s Prima: Twice the Cheer!

Jump over to Colombia, and you’ll find the ‘Prima’. Think of it as the 13th month pay’s cousin, but with its own unique twist. Colombians get this benefit twice a year – half in June and half in December. It’s a sweet deal that helps with both mid-year expenses and holiday shopping.

Why We’re Talking About This

These aren’t just about following laws; they reflect something bigger. In both the Philippines and Colombia, these payments are about showing care and valuing employees. It’s a way of saying, “We see your hard work, and we appreciate you!” – something that resonates globally.

A World of Thanks

Isn’t it interesting how different parts of the world find unique ways to appreciate their workforce? Whether it’s the 13th month pay or the Prima, it’s all about making employees feel valued.
