We have a supply of raw materials through processing to the supermarket, a food processing plant, but the next payment on very slowly, while the company to continually advance payment to farmers, traders for raw stable materials "- she B. said.

Every year, Mrs. B. often borrow from banks to pay bonuses to workers before the festival, then the partners will pay compensation to the bank. But with the current interest rate plus the bank loan was difficult when she B. can not access to cash.

"Input costs increase, profits decrease Tet bonuses for employees should be not as high as every year, even if budget funds are also losses due to inflation so cash is tight. Maybe I will enjoy a half cash, half in goods of the company. If the situation better festival will award additional "- Mrs. B. to share.

Tet bonus plan with cash gifts instead of many companies are being considered. Anh Tuan, salesman electronics company G, said the HR director was whispered about Tet bonus with gas stove, coffee maker, ironing board ... depending on the wishes of employees. These commodities are trading company should be a form of "bonus" is good both ways.

Anh Tuan said the office staff are also encouraged to sell merchandise, campaigned under the "Buy award festival" by convincing other companies reward employees with cash instead of products.

In fact, a number of goods if the holiday bonus, but not well suited to the needs of users who should not receive Tet gifts are fun.  "Overall prize money is the most popular. Whatever you want to buy my liking "- Thanh Dung, a company employee and consumer goods production, said. Meanwhile, the turnover of businesses in the area of ​​consumption down 40% from a year earlier, inventories increased, and companies are only a small cash bonus award known as Tet, the rest ... encourage employees to use the company's products.

Mr. Bui The Hung, chairman of the board Triumphal company - business is holding over 5,000 employees, said today several management companies are headache problem with Tet bonuses to employees. Hung lament: "in 2011 difficult business situation, but you must take care to employees to keep them attached to the company, which also is the human heart together. So we decided to keep the level of care equal to or higher than the festival last year. "

In addition to maintaining vehicle transporting workers to the home for Tet, according to Hung, Tet bonuses this year for a minimum of one month's salary, equivalent to 2.1 million.

In addition, the union also gave MSG, oil workers.

Most workers are expected Tet bonuses as a meaningful gift after a hard year.

 

Less, many are award

Vo Quoc Thang, chairman of Vietnam Young Entrepreneurs Association, said most small and medium enterprises should trouble the Year award is too much for them this year. "Knowing that reward employees last year is essential, but worth to do business losses, how to have money to enjoy" - Mr Thang said.

He said last year there were business owners pocket 10 billion to reward workers, paid a more difficult year like this year's festival, the award is a great difficulty.

Although the business difficult, but many businesses still do not advocate cutting workers' Tet bonuses. Company leaders may wear Tan Long School, District 9, HCMC confirmed his solid new workers: "This year, all workers will be off on the 25th of the lunar New Year. That day, the company will reward the time and funding 100% tickets for the remote home workers. "

But the company specializes in manufacturing electronic circuit boards Nissei Electric Vietnam (Linh Trung Export Processing Zone 1) Whether the loss is not total, the bonus interest to make specific festival but still higher than expected bonuses last year. As leaders of this company, if the company New Year 2011 from 1.2 to 1.5 months 'salary bonus then the bonus will be this year from 1.5 to 1.8 months' salary.

While mass producers have confirmed most of the prize, the business sector in the service sector in the New Year is also a mystery prize. Staff some advertising companies, securities ... said notice is not seen nothing and predict grim situation because the company will lose.

Thuy Mai, a company employee travel in District 1, said last year's New Year is a half-month salary bonus. This year the company reduced revenue due to economic difficulties, the bonus is the supermarket coupon. As director, it is the sharing of practical and economic life. Understanding the difficulties of the company but said Mai festival awards are not only value but also the pride of the employees.  Back home, I met her, friends who did not ask many festival awards, more than last year?

 

Apart from the gifts, gift certificates product is also considered alternative plans for New Year cash bonus of some businesses. As manager of a supermarket, the amount of supermarket gift certificates sold last year jumped 60-70% often than usual. Usually customers buy large shares are companies and enterprises use to give employees and officials in the agency, then to give partners and customers.

Ms. Shu Quynh, marketing director of Saigon Co-op, said the coupon is often viewed as additional benefits for staff members besides Tet bonuses. But in recent years, gift certificates are considered gift baskets instead of the festival because they are convenient and high-value uses. Currently a decent gift baskets plaited employees also have to spend 400,000 to 600,000 / hour, while if the company offer a coupon discount has been reduced to non-delivery or bulky to bear the risk of substance of goods.

Coupons are like cash value should be more businesses choose to reward employees" - Ms. Quynh said.
