Macau gaming operator SJM Resorts has announced that its employees will receive a “special discretionary bonus” equivalent to one month’s salary on January 20th, 2025.
This announcement marks the start of the season when gaming operators typically disclose bonuses and potential salary increases for their staff.
The announcement was made by Daisy Ho, Managing Director of SJM Resorts, via an internal memo on Tuesday.
In the memo, Ho explained that the bonus is a gesture of appreciation for the “contribution and outstanding performance” of staff over the past year.
“SJM Resorts has consistently optimized and innovated its products and services in 2024, achieving steady business growth thanks to the hard work of every team member,” the memo stated.
According to the firm, the bonus will cover nearly 98 percent of the staff.
SJM Resorts, part of the Hong Kong-listed SJM Holdings, is the first of Macau’s six gaming operators to announce a discretionary bonus for employees for 2025. However, the memo did not mention any salary increases for the coming year.
