Sands China Ltd has announced a salary increase for staff that it says will benefit around 99% of employees.
Coming into effect from 1 March 2018, the increase will see full-time employees of eligible grades earning monthly salaries less than or equal to MOP$12,000 before tax receive a pay rise of MOP$600, an increase of at least 5%. Team members of eligible grades earning monthly salaries above MOP$12,000 will receive an average of 2.5% pay rise.
Sands China will also pay a discretionary bonus on 13 February 2018 to all qualified team members who have completed at least one full year of service in 2017, equivalent to at least one month’s salary. The bonus will be paid to around 28,000 staff.
“Sands China is again pleased to announce a salary increase and discretionary bonus for its valued team members in appreciation of their contributions,” said Sands China President Dr Wilfred Wong.
“Sands China’s spirit of teamwork was fully demonstrated in 2017, a year in which Typhoon Hato brought many challenges to our operations. But with our effective teamwork, we not only continued to deliver unparalleled service experiences to our guests, but also helped restore normality across Macao through various disaster relief efforts. With the Londoner project in the pipeline, the future looks promising for us and I am confident that with the continued dedication of our team members, 2018 will be a year of success and fulfilment.”
