De Minimis Benefits Utilization: Illustrating Salary Adjustments Based On NCR Wage Order No. 22 (Php537)

De Minimis Benefits Utilization: Illustrating Salary Adjustments Based On NCR Wage Order No. 22 (Php537)

De Minimis benefits which are exempt from the fringe benefit tax and income tax shall, in general, be limited to facilities or privileges furnished or offered by an employer to his employees that are of relatively small value and are offered or furnished by the employer merely as a means of promoting the health, goodwill, contentment, or efficiency. It literally means small amount.

The list was amended and made exclusive by RR 5-2011. Additional P10,000 annual benefit was added by RR 1-2015. It was further amended by RR 11-2018 increasing the Medical cash allowance to dependents of employees, not exceeding P1,500 per employee per semester, of P250 per month, or P3,000 per annum. Also, rice subsidy of P2,000 or one sack of 50kg. rice per month amounting to not more than P2,000. Finally, uniform and clothing allowance not exceeding P6,000 per annum.

With the issuance of Wage Order No. NCR 22 granting PhP537.00 daily minimum wage to NCR employees, companies may decide to adjust their salary scales considering that the equivalent monthly minimum is now P14,006.75 using the 313 factor. This is derived as follows:

Daily minimum wage x 313 / 12

Thus:

PhP537.00 x 313 / 12

PhP168,081.00 / 12

PhP14,006.75

Assuming Company X, based in NCR, wants to improve the take home pay of its employees with the issuance of Wage Order No. 22. The Management approved P5,000.00 increase of the following with a mandate to minimize impact on the basic pay:

Employee     Current          Adjusted        Category                    Factor

A                     P14,006.75   P19,006.75   Daily                           313

B                    P15,000.00   P20,000.00   Daily                           313

C                    P16,000.00   P21,000.00   Daily                           313

D                    P20,000.00   P25,000.00   Monthly                      365

E                    P20,833.00   P20,833.00   Monthly                      365

How should this be done addressing the following?

  1. Avoid wage distortion
  2. Improving net take home
  3. Minimize tax
  4. Utilizing 13th month pay and other benefits
  5. Addressing De Minimis excess
  6. Showing tax computation (if there is any taxable amount)
  7. Showing annual tax computation
