Staff at Sands China got some welcome news this week when management announced it would pay out a new year bonus next month.
Sands China said that it will distribute a “discretionary allowance” equivalent to one month’s salary to more than 25,000 non-senior management full-time staff members on 17 January, “in appreciation of their dedication and contributions in 2021.”
The management pointed out that 99 per cent of Sands China’s employees are benefiting from either the discretionary allowance or other incentive schemes.
Sands China President Wilfred Wong Ying-wai commented:
“This year was another challenging one, not just for Macao, but for the whole world. Despite its challenges, our team members came together to successfully launch The Londoner against the backdrop of an ongoing pandemic.
“Since the start of the pandemic, our team members have demonstrated their care for the community by taking the initiative to get vaccinated, by volunteering to support our 24-hour nucleic acid test station during two community-wide mandatory testing drives, and by providing hotel services for medical observation, among so much more.”
He added: “It is Sands China’s pleasure to award this discretionary allowance to our team members for their tireless dedication and service-minded attitude.”
