Citi Singapore hands out $1,200 aid to employees

Around 1,600 will benefit from the compensation.

Citi Singapore is giving around 1,600 employees a special one-off compensation award worth $1,200 to help them weather the current economic slump.

Employees with an annual base salary of $70,000 or lower are eligible for the compensation, which is estimated to cost the bank a total of $2m.

Employees will also receive a complimentary insurance coverage in partnership with AIA which will grant them and their dependents hospitalisation income and death benefits until 30 June or 30 days after the DORSCON level becomes Green, whichever is earlier.

They will also enjoy a preferred corporate rate with digital healthcare provider WhiteCoat, an extension of the deadline for the utilisation of carryover leave to 31 December, and a refund of season parking charges in Citi’s main offices for April and May.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
