I worked in Switzerland, the 13th month wasn't a bonus, they simply took your salary, divided that by 13, that was your monthly payment and you got 2 of them in December.
Also many bills are due on the first of January for the whole next year e.g. insurance. So it was kinda like a holiday and large bill windfall, but it wasn't additional to salary.
That was just one company, maybe other countries or employers are different.
- freetanga 6y agoThis. You know your yearly salary (gross and net). Then you get it in different schemes depending on country and company. Some I now are: - 14 payments (extras in June and December) - 12+1 in December - 12 + 2 x 0.5 (one extra in June and the other In December) I believe dates were pick to match Xmas and Summer Holidays, two big spending anomalies Anyhow you always negotiate yearly gross.
