No that is not the case, never has been. Our 13th month was contractual for many years until it wasn't. 13th month was changed to "Annual Discretionary Bonus" in one of our ever changing new and sh!ttier contracts. The only place it was incorporated into the salary was on the bases, not in Hong Kong.
