What is Annual Wage Supplement (AWS) (Singapore)?

A voluntary extra payment, commonly equivalent to one month's salary, paid by Singapore employers at year-end as a market-standard practice, though not legally mandated by statute.

Why it matters in hiring

Annual Wage Supplement (AWS) (Singapore) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
