When the British were in Singapore, they were being paid weekly & they
argued that Singaporeans were actually being cheated into believing
that the 13th month pay is a bonus.
Singaporeans are being paid monthly which is equivalent to 4 weeks
pay coz 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 pay (bonus).
So, the British argued that there is in fact no bonus at all??? |
