Sands China Ltd. is giving its staff a pay raise.

On Thursday, the Macau casino operator announced that its non-management staff is getting not only a pay raise, but also a special bonus for 2016, GGRAsia reported. The announcement came despite the bleak performance of the city state’s gaming sector.

In its announcement, Sands China said employees that had completed at least one year of service are eligible to receive a bonus equivalent to “at least one month’s salary” on February 5. For employees who joined the company before October 1, 2015, and were still employed as of February 5, they still get to receive the special bonus, but it will be paid on a pro rata basis.

In addition, Sands China’s staff will also get a bump in their pay starting March 1. Full time employees with a monthly salary of up to MOP12,000 (US$1,500) will get a pay increase of MOP500 per month, which is about 4 to 5 percent increase in their pay.
