Document background
The Authorization Letter for 13th Month Pay is commonly used in Singapore when an employee needs to delegate the collection of their 13th month bonus to another party. This might occur due to absence, overseas travel, or other circumstances preventing personal collection. The document typically includes the authorizer's details, authorized person's information, specific payment amount, and relevant dates. While not governed by specific legislation in Singapore, it falls under general contract law principles and must comply with employment regulations. This authorization letter serves as a legal record of the employee's consent and protects all parties involved in the transaction.
