Employees seek new pastures as bonuses decline

Many white-collar workers are unhappy with their annual bonuses, and some said their dissatisfaction over the issue will force them to seek new jobs, according to a survey.

Only 40 percent of employees are expected to receive a bonus for their work performance in 2014, the report by online recruiter Zhaopin Ltd said. Sixteen percent have already received a bonus.

A second study has found that employers on the Chinese mainland are willing to offer the most generous salary increases this year compared with those in Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia and Japan.
