13th month included as part of gross salary or extra

hi everyone. I had a question about 13th month.


Is it usually included as part of the gross salary, or is it an extra? For example, if i want to offer an employee 50,000/year, will that include the 13th salary (so 50,000/13 will give monthly salary), or is it on top, so the "real" gross salary is 54,166?


Also, is the double holiday pay included in the gross salary?


Thanks for your help
