13th month pay
KAMI handles 13th month pay in two separate places, and confusing them causes most of the questions: an accrual that builds up on every payslip through the year, and a bonus run that actually pays it.
Read article →Bulk bonuses and bonus tax
Bulk bonus creates a bonus for many employees at once, calculated from a wage basis rather than typed in per person. It is how 13th month, performance bonuses and any company-wide payment get made…
