Cut cost cut till like that

Ya, how does it cut cost? They give the aws upfront each month. That's paying upfront each month instead of end of the year. Want to quit also won't lose out cos you receive it each month.

 

[dilphinus]

Yes. Isn't it crazy?

How is it crazy? You know you can't smoke in the office and yet you still do it. Or you mean you don't know you can't smoke in the office?

For lower salary ones, you will lose out abit on CPF contribution from company as it's now only 12 months basis.

Have a look at how CPF contribution from company works. Company not so good to give you cash up front one, got hidden agenda one

I earn 1200 a month. Upfront aws +100 a month. Now at 1300. Still the same cpf contribution both sides. Each year cpf contribution for 13000. No?

You mean you don't benefit if you don't work the entire year? Not better than not getting the one month aws?

I now understand your logic. You need to determine your own worth. You are worth more than 1300/month. Even the FT got a minimum wage. For goodness sake.

 

[dango_daikazoku]

My company just informed of a revised AWS policy starting 2024.

They are now pro-rating the AWS into 12 equal amounts & adding it into our monthly basic pay.

Any thoughts about this?

mine already did this 3y ago. seems more coy doing it now...

i don't understand the logic, can sexplain? disregard the amount, just use X for calculation. Do it like o lvl e maths workings please.

As requested.

Hope u understand. Don't understand it's ok.
Just remember no one tell u that u can only earn 1300.

That's not true. U and I have the same 24 hrs. It's supply and demand.

If your services is above demand u will get higher pay.

company can better manage their cash flow monthly instead of having to accumulate certain amount by end of the month to give everybody one shot and it save time for them to plan ahead the following year financial target

You are better off. Given a choice for the same annual compensation, no one in their right mind should opt for a 13-month package with AWS over a 12-month package. Go figure why.

Funny this ploy do actually give more advantage to current staff who feel no pressure to leave anytime..

yes and no to this.

A couple of factors will make all the difference.

• is your current basic salary above the ceiling of OW
• is your VB hitting the threshold of AW?

If you are a foreigner, these doesnt matter, but if u r sgean or PR, then there is a slight difference.

that really depends. if in normal building and company wanna give chance, then maybe let it slide with a warning. but if want to gei gao and bring in the violation of fire safety and smoking prohibition act, then terminate also no wrong since it violates both law and fire safety code.

another thing to add on, if smoking in an office next to lab or manufacturing plant, termination is definite.

Not just that. You neglect the most important factor being bonuses are computed as a multiple of your monthly salary. Go figure.

Not necessarily true that a higher base pay will always result in a higher bonus payout. The pot of money to be distributed can remain the same and the employer can just tweak the multiplier.
