18 Months' Year-End Bonus: One Year's Work Earns Two and a Half Years

An OTC-listed computer equipment company in Xizhi, Taiwan, China has only six hundred employees, with 5% to 10% receiving 18 months' year-end bonus; on average, the year-end bonus is 12 months, which means working one year earns an extra year's income.

There are still two months until the Lunar New Year, but many office workers are already looking forward to year-end bonuses and the year-end banquet. Some tech companies are going all out, generously giving year-end bonuses of up to 18 months this year, the envy of many. A survey by a human resources bank shows that the economic outlook this year has clearly improved, and overall year-end bonuses will be somewhat higher than last year, reaching 1.38 months.

According to a Liberty Times report, "ATEN International," which specializes in audio and video systems, cloud networking, and energy-saving product equipment, holds three hundred and three international patents, and has the world's second-largest market share, can give employees year-end bonuses of up to 18 months because its gross margin reaches 60%. By contrast, the apparel industry may give only a 200 red envelope, which goes to show that "choose the right company, and your salary goes to heaven."

Heating up the year-end bonus topic, the tech industry, which was chilly last year, is also going all out this year. A tech company specializing in cloud networking and audio and video systems offers annual pay of 19 to 30 months, equivalent to giving year-end bonuses of up to 18 months.

A member of the public: "The year-end banquet is expected to be better, with lucky draws or whatever, and the year-end bonus will be more. In the past (last year) the year-end banquet was held by division, but this year it's held for all divisions together, so it feels like it will be more lavish."

Office workers clearly feel the economy improving, which also has many people starting to look forward to the big year-end banquet red envelope two months from now.
