Heard on the news earlier regarding the year end bonus.

Just wondering if anybody heard any rumours about how much are we getting?

Carrying some hope it might be better than what was given out last year. Who will mind getting extra right

Anyway hope for the best

The gov do not normally announced the budget (year end bonus) too early as they do not want to over-commit themselves.

The common practise is to do it during the later months of the year, eg October or November. This year is the latest so far.

Yeah!!!

But anybody knows how to calculate if one has taken 4 months of leave?

your bonus will be pro-rated @ (8/12 * the announced bonus)

The gov do not normally announced the budget (year end bonus) too early as they do not want to over-commit themselves.

The common practise is to do it during the later months of the year, eg October or November. This year is the latest so far.

actually this year they did announce the bonus in the middle of the year as 0.5 month in july and 0.5 month in dec. what they did yesterday was simply adjust the figure by adding a 0.25 month special bonus on top of what had earlier been announced because of the good economy.

so the actual bonus is just 1.25 month, considering that the 13th month is not really a bonus, it is basically the deferred portion of your monthly pay.
