Government Bonus in Wages

This link gives you a quick description of what the bonus is and what the amounts are.  The amounts are described as "fixed", though how long they are fixed for, and by what method, is not stated.

The link doesn't get you very far, however, on what the heck the bonus is supposed to be for, or about, or why it's paid at all.  Perhaps best just to take the money and run.

BTW, if you want speedy results when Googling Maltese topics, then using the local version, www.google.com.mt , can help.  It allows you to filter down to just pages from Malta, which can be useful.

strange country...   I'll watch for this though

Is the bonus enough for an extra Cisk ?

Let's get together again and spend your  bonus -)))

I want a bonus too !

I am not sure the reason why the bonus is paid (maybe to make us feel not so shitty that the ministers give themselves high pay rises?) and it's given every 3 months. The calculation is a bit complicated, they consider the amount of days you worked in a 6 month period around that payment month and give it to you pro-rata. Something like that lol

And as far as I know, this is given by law so your Swedesh company must pay it as well.

K so I worked from april, so I got a bonus a month or so ago, but will I get one for July aswell? I know it's supposed to be paid in September, but I only worked for 1/3th of the "period" so maybe I'll get 1/3th of the money?

(Won't work anymore after July)

are you sure its a bonus and not the COLA (cost of living allowance) that every worker gets paid usually every three months

Fairly sure, it said "Government bonus" so
Anyways, is the thing u linked mandatory or not?

Got one too for June 2013, also just joined a Swedish technology company, maybe it's a Scandinavian thing ! lol

COLA is a mandatory salary adjustment that is made by employers every January. The amount is announced in the budget and is expressed as a weekly rate.
