This is not ridiculous lah, please lah, tell that farker blogger
to read history lah, 13month started during the British
colonisation of Singapore (Malaya), they also introduced tea
breaks, OT and Pension, now pension become CPF,..knnccb.
However, in the employment act 13th month is not a clause, it is
not compulsory to pay you, if a company do not give 13 month to it
employees, you cannot bring them to court, but can resign and join
one that give the 13th month which is also known as Annual Variable
Component is not a component base on that 48 or 52 month issue, it
is variable in nature, but due to our industrial culture, most
companies will do it to stay competitive whereby labour is in
concern.
