13th Month Bonus
I may be 24 years old but I know how the world works.
Well, for most of you, you’re about to receive your so call 13th month bonus in right about next month. What’s the deal with 13th month bonus anyway? Do you really think it is a bonus? Why do you think some people prefer to receive weekly pay without 13th month bonus?
It’s very simple actually. The answer is that your 13th month bonus is not a bonus at all. It’s basically your 1 month pay. YES!! YOUR paycheck!! Why? If you can count properly, there are exactly 52 weeks in 1 year. Normally company pays you monthly. There are 12 months in a year. There are 4 weeks in a month. So 4 weeks multiply by 12 months, you get 48 weeks. So you’re paid for 48 weeks but the fact is that there are 52 weeks in a year.
So, where did your another 4 weeks/1 month pay goes? It goes into what they call it, your 13th month bonus.
To summarize, you’re actually underpaid for a whole 11 months!! Then give you back on the last month of the year.
SO!!! If you don’t get your 13th month bonus, you better have 96days of leave a year or find another job that pays you weekly.
