20%* SALARY INCREASE
Arrears backdated to 1 Jan 2003 to be paid by 1 May 2005
Annual Increment and Bonus to be decided by court
We DID it! Finally SBEU members in AmFinance Bhd will get to enjoy benefits under a Collective Agreement that is similar to the rest of the Banking Industry.
Apart from the 9% salary increase, Am Finance members will also get the Sarawak Allowance that range between 15 to 25% of their salary. Currently they are paid $100. All in all they will get a real salary increase of 20%* OR MORE (see table)
These benefits were agreed between AMFINANCE and SBEU in an interim Award handed down by the Industrial Court today. It will be implemented WEF 1 April 2005.
The remaining two articles on annual increment and bonus remains in dispute. Both sides agreed that this shall be decided by the court. The Court has fixed hearing on 24 & 25 August 2005.
Below is a summary of some of the benefits: They are not exhaustive. We will forward the full Agreement to members in due course |
