Are 13th or 14th-month salaries common practice in Singapore?

In Singapore, the concept of a 13th-month salary, often referred to as the Annual Wage Supplement (AWS), is a common practice but not legally mandated. It's typically given at the end of the year, at the discretion of the employer.

A 14th-month salary or other bonuses may also be provided based on company policy or performance.


While not mandated by law in Singapore, some companies may offer Christmas bonuses or year-end bonuses as part of their AWS or as performance-related bonuses. The provision of such bonuses is at the discretion of the employer and may vary from company to company.
