Wynn Macau handed out its annual bonus “in advance of the Chinese New Year Holiday.” According to the Macau News Agency, Wynn also raised salaries for almost 98 percent of the staff by 3.8 percent to 7.2 percent. And Melco Resorts & Entertainment announced a salary increase and “a one-month discretionary bonus” for eligible non-management employees.

SJM Holdings Ltd. has already awarded a “living subsidy” for 2018. Sands China and MGM China Holdings Ltd. have also announced bonus payment plans for their employees for the year.
Sands’ paternity leave gives new fathers five paid days off within 30 days of the birth of their child.
