SJM Holdings hangs on to bonus scheme despite Macau’s lackluster 2015

Here’s a bit of post-holiday cheer for SJM Holdings Ltd. employees: the Macau-based gaming operator will keep on giving out bonuses this year despite the lackluster performance of the city-state’s gaming sector in 2014.

Labor activist group Forefront of Macau Gaming got ahold of an internal notice in which SJM announced that it will distribute bonuses to its employees this year, Macau Business Daily reported.

According to the announcement, the casino operator will offer an annual bonus equivalent to two months’ salary for employees who are earning MOP20,000 (US$2,500) and below.

For employees receiving wages higher than that level, they will receive an annual bonus equivalent to 1.5 months of their salaries or MOP40,000, whichever is higher, according to the news report.
