This December, employers need to provide the Christmas bonus gift until Friday 19th the latest.
The Christmas bonus gift is calculated based on the salary or daily wage and depends on how long the employee worked between 1st May to 31 December each year.
Those that worked the entire period from May to December are entitled to one salary or 25 daily wages.
If someone worked partially in that period they will receive less Christmas bonus on the following equation: Christmas bonus = ( Actual working days / 19 working days ) * 2(daily wage)
If employers do not provide the Christmas bonus gift, the employees can refer the situation to the Labour Inspection office at 1555 with full name or anonymously.
