Eligibility, Timing and Exceptions
The landscape bonus starts in January 2020, normally for citizens/PRs with 12 months’ service to the same employer at the calculation cut-off. Pay at least two weeks of prevailing basic wages, once or twice yearly, within one month after cut-off or the last employment day, whichever is earlier. Show it on payslips and apply CPF rules.
Part-time staff receive a proportionate amount. If the provider loses a service contract, the 12-month qualifying period is waived and the outgoing employer pays the pro-rated bonus. Retirement and medical boarding-out can qualify. Voluntary resignation or dismissal for misconduct does not require a new bonus payment, but qualifying bonus already paid must not be clawed back.
Worked Calculations
The annex’s full-year S$1,300 example gives two weeks as 1,300 × 12 ÷ 52 × 2 = S$600. A service-provider change ending 31 March gives S$150 for the January–March eligible hours, including a worker below 12 months. A later-start worker receives S$96.50. A 20-hour part-timer compared with a S$1,450 full-timer has S$659.34 basic monthly pay and S$304.31 two-week pro-rated bonus in the illustrated stable-hours scenario.
