I have a situation here. For example -
My annual salary is stated in my employment contract as : RM13,000 payable in 12 monthly payments of RM1,000 per month and a 13th month bonus of RM1,000 payable in December. If I resign, should the 13th month bonus be pro-rated back to me? If yes, then I need to bring up a case. Who can I approach if HR doesn't care? |

QUOTE(Aoumi @ Mar 15 2012, 07:12 AM) the 13th month bonus is ur 1month contractual bonus. once you resign b4 the bonus payout your are not entitle for it anymore. That is why a lot of people only tender their resignation after getting their bonus in the year end.  QUOTE(aurora97 @ Mar 15 2012, 01:12 PM) see below Got reply from Labor dept, it says that my contract have contradicting statement - which is hard to decide which is right.Generally I agree with Aoumi, you might also want to look back into your employment contract as to how you will be entitled to the 13th month bonus. If your contract states your entitled to the 13th month bonus in any case, than i don't see why your not entitled to a pro-rated bonus? (or if its a badly drafted contract and doesn't mentioned that it will be pro-rated may be you are even entitled to the full amount!) Read & understand your contract, once you have a case than only you escalate. Excerpt from the reply : 1st statement : RM13,000 annual salary - meaning you will be entitled to earn RM13,000 a year 2nd statement : 12 monthly payment of RM1,000, and a 13th month bonus of RM1,000 payable in Dec - payment breakdown Kesimpulan dari kenyataan di atas, anda dibayar RM13,000 setahun. Jikalau anda berhenti kerja pada bulan Mac, anda akan dibayar RM3,000 untuk 3 bulan. Tetapi ia tidak memenuhi syarat RM13,000 / 12 = RM1,083 sebulan. Sila dapatkan kenyataan dari pejabat anda. My malay bad  What does it mean? |
