Galaxy, MGM China announce pay hike for Macau staff

Two more casino operators are joining Sands China in giving their Macau staff a salary increase.

Galaxy Entertainment Group announced that eligible staff members who have joined the company on or before April 1, 2017 and have “satisfactory performance” will have a “performance-based salary adjustment ranging from 2.5 percent to 5.5 percent,” effective from April.

The company will also continue its share reward scheme for full-time workers at senior manager grade and below. Introduced in 2014, the scheme is equivalent to three months of an eligible worker’s salary as of August 2014 and will be vested on December 31, 2017.

Galaxy’s annual salary adjustment review, which usually happens in July, came a little earlier this year—a decision that the casino operator made “in recognition of its team members’ valuable contributions.”
