hearsay 0.5 months

Unregistered 21-05-2019 05:13 PM

Should be happy to get 0.5 since the MTI just narrowed GDP forecast (s://.channelnewsasia.com/news/business/singapore-gdp-economy-2019-forecast-growth-q1-11549940) today.

jrbearus 21-05-2019 05:17 PM

Some economic data and previous year bonuses:
MTI Expects GDP Growth to be "1.0 to 3 Per Cent" in 2017 - 0.5 months
MTI Expects GDP Growth to be "2.5 to 3.5 Per Cent" in 2018 - 0.5 months + $300
MTI Expects GDP Growth to be "1.5 to 2.5 Per Cent" in 2019 - ?

Mid-year bonus = (Number of days from 1 January to 30 June) divided by (Number of days from 1 January to 30 June) multiple by June salary multiple by the mid-year bonus rate or simply - June salary multiple by the mid-year bonus rate

Unregistered 21-05-2019 06:27 PM

If starting date is 3 June..
 
Am I entitled to the bonus if my starting date is 3 Jun? I suspect not entitle but just want to clarify..

I think yes, since it is paid for work done in 1 Jan - 30 Jun. So it will be prorated by the % of days you worked in this period * mid yr quantum * salary.

My guess is 0.5 month + $100 - $200 Bicentennial Bonus. Hahahaha.

sorry i don't get what you are trying to say: isn't (Number of days from 1 January to 30 June) / (Number of days from 1 January to 30 June) = 1?

sorry if i missed something.

Yes, you are right if you were in service during the said period and have worked throughout that period with no 'No Pay Leave' or other leaves which resulted in the deduction of your work days. Consideration has to be given to those who joined service within that period but not from the start of the said period.

Unregistered 26-05-2019 10:31 PM

0.35 month + one off payment for Bicentennial Year

Not i say, but a friend of a friend of a friend say...

If a person leaves service before 30 June, will he/she still qualify for mid year bonus?

No. The person needs to stay one month after the payment. The only exception is the person leaving due to retirement or alike. Those who resign within one month after payment or dismissed will not receive.

There is no bicentennial bonus or at least as of now, there is no announcement of it yet. Depending on the payment period, it is mid-year and you join in July, then the answer is No.

2012 - 1.5% - 0.3x.

Maybe it will be lower + Bicentennial Bonus

If I am not confirmed, will I still get the mid year avc? Just want to know if there's any possibility of people not receiving the mid year avc

As long as you are in service during the said period, you should be paid for the mid-year bonus.

Government accepts National Wages Council Guidelines for 2019/2020

1. The Government accepts the National Wages Council (NWC) Guidelines for 2019/2020.

2. The Government welcomes the stronger emphasis placed on employer-led training this year, and agrees that training is key to continued productivity gains and sustainable wage growth. The Government supports the NWC’s recommendations for employers to:
a. Offer structured training to their employees based on current and future business requirements;
b. Continue implementing productivity initiatives, and work towards better wages and skills; and
c. With respect to unionised companies and NTUC-e2i partners, establish Company Training Committees and build up their in-house workplace learning capabilities.

3. Employers can tap on the wide range of support under the Adapt & Grow Initiative and SkillsFuture to implement their training plans, and on government schemes such as the Enterprise Development Grant to improve productivity and job quality. The Government will continue to provide structured training to ensure the continued employability of its employees.

4. The Government notes that while productivity growth (in terms of value-added per worker) in 2018 was healthy at 2.4%, it has moderated from 3.9% in 2017. The economy is also expected to slow in 2019 amidst increasing external headwinds. The Government agrees with the NWC that wage increases will need to be sustainable and fair, based on the performance of individual employers and contributions of individual employees. For employers that have done well in 2018 but face uncertain prospects, they may exercise moderation in built-in wage increases but should still reward employees with variable payments. Our flexible wage system provides a sustainable way for employers to adjust wage costs more quickly in response to volatility in the business environment.

5. The Government welcomes the NWC’s recommendations for low-wage workers, namely that employers grant a built-in wage increase of $50 to $70 for workers earning a basic wage of up to $1,400 and, for employers who achieved a productivity gain in 2018, provide a further one-off payment of $200 to $360. The Government supports the NWC’s move to build upon the success of earlier tripartite efforts to raise the wage threshold and cover more low-wage workers for its quantitative wage recommendations. This helps to sustain efforts to improve wage outcomes for low-wage workers. The Government will continue to take reference from the NWC guidelines in its annual wage increment exercise.

6. The Government recognises that fair and progressive contracting and employment practices are necessary to uplift outsourced low-wage workers, support senior workers and retain experienced workers in the workforce. The Government will continue to take the lead in providing flexible work arrangements to support the differing needs of its employees. As a buyer of outsourced services, the Government will continue to take the lead to best source and strongly encourages other service buyers to do the same. We also call upon service providers to adopt NWC wage recommendations for their workers and call upon service buyers to enable their service providers to adjust contract values to do so.

7. The strong tripartite partnership in the NWC has contributed to better wage and employment outcomes for our workers, while ensuring that our businesses stay productive and competitive. The Government is confident that with the commitment of the tripartite partners, the NWC 2019/2020 Guidelines will be successfully implemented.

Likely to be lower than 0.5 months this year with slower economic growth

Unregistered 10-06-2019 04:43 PM

Same thought.
Hope that it is 0.5 but highly doubt it.
0.3 to 0.35 + bicentennial bonus of $200

Unregistered 10-06-2019 09:38 PM

Why do people think there is going to be a Bi-Centennial bonus? How is the BC even related to the CS and PS???

It's related to Singaporeans in general it seems. There's a Bicentennial bonus for GST packages too, and tax reliefs for BC next year?

Hopefully, some money is better than no money.

Built-in wage increase of $10 to $50 for Grade V and related schemes officers.
