Considering that respondent failed to effect corrective actions on the

noted deficiencies, this Office adopts the findings submitted by the Labor
Laws Compliance Officers who is presumed to have performed her duties
in a regular manner in the absence of evidence to the contrary.

Based on interview and affidavits of the employees, they were only

paid half of their 13th month pay for 2016. However, since payroll of 13th
month pay is not available, computation shall be based on the basic pay
of the employee as shown in the submitted payroll.

We compute.
