Default 13th month bonus?



Hi all,

Interesting fact and I think that we have been short changed.

Let me tell you a story about 13-month bonus......


Why there is a 13-month bonus when it is really isn't a bonus?

The mystery is finally revealed! When the British were in Singapore , they were being paid weekly & they argued that Singaporeans were actually being cheated into believing that the 13th month pay is a bonus.

Singaporeans are being paid monthly which is equivalent to 4 weeks pay coz there are 4 weeks in a month. As the British were paid weekly, it worked out to the same. You see, there are 7 days in a week. 4 weeks in a month. 12 months in a year. Then 12 months should work out to 48 weeks only.

But 1 year actually has 52 weeks!!! Hence the 13th month is your own pay not bonus??!!). So, the British argued that there is in fact no
bonus at all???

It is a very simple calculation that stunned many!!!!
BONUS??? What bonus??? .

Now you understand ?

Read this some time back...

Ever since then, I've always treated the 13 month bonus as a standard-to-have money. I never see it as a bonus anymore.

The extra bonus is called a variable bonus.
But different companies have different terms and bonuses.
