hi guys,

can someone give me an advice, please?

How much christmas bonus do you provide normally to your nanny?

I know, it depends on their effort and performance. But in general? 20, 40 or 100% more ot top to her regular salary?

Our nanny is from the philippines (there are everywhere nannies from the philippines ) and we just want to give her something on top but not too much (comparable to the normal behaviour in Vietnam). If we give her too less she will be probably disappointed, if we give her too much she will expect always something like this

And furthermore, all of the philippines are comparing everything to each other and we don't want to give her nothing, too less or too much

Thanks!

so keep yours money then give to hers sweet smiling and god wish blessing for all  :lol::lol:

You plan on giving her a Tết bonus as well?  How generous of you.  I've haven't heard of a Christmas bonus.  I've heard of Christmas gifts, however.  But in terms of year end bonuses, companies generally give it as a Tết bonus...since their workers often get that holiday off; not so much as Christmas.

As the Philippines is a heavily Christian nation and Christmas is a Christian holiday, you should give your nanny a paid-day off (or two).  So the Christmas bonus is the day(s) paid-off if you want to monetarize it.

@nescel who in this country gives a maid 13 months pay as a bonus for Tet, and give out Christmas bonuses on top of it?

Nescel,

Do you know enough to name an employer who does that?  I might want to look for that kind of nanny work, too.

No guys, Nescel is talking about an extra 01 month's salary.
12th month is December and the 13th month is the additional month's salary as bonus.  :D

Ahhh...  Thank you for clarifying that for us, Mal.  That is a lot better now.   :top:

Ooops...  My leg still hurts!  I don't think I can help you with the baby and chores, Saigonmonkey.    :cheers:

Hey the Wild1, when you will get the bonus from new Nanny job, please buy a T atleast for the new year. Because you are with a naked chest for a long time now. :P:P
