One Month Bonus?
Just for disclaimer purpose, and to set things straight…. the one month bonus thing is copy and paste from an email being forwarded. Hence, I have no idea where does it originated from
It doesn’t matter because the main important is that do you get your 1 (one) month bonus every year? But the question was that are we being paid bonus? Is the 1 month bonus is what we actually deserve? I don’t know because I don’t have bonus one. Not at all.
Why is there a 13 month bonus when its really isn’t a bonus? The mystery is finally revealed! When the British were in Malaya, they were being paid weekly and they argued that locals were actually being cheated into believing that the 13th month pay is a bonus.
Locals were being paid monthly which is equivalent to 4 weeks pay because 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 worked out to 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??? … !!!
