Our company does not have such practice. However, for colleagues who are keen to chip in to share a gift. For some companies, they may have the benefit of giving a $100 angbao to the employee once they produce the birth Cert of the child.

Yes, we do provide such gift for a newborn of a female or male employee. The amount limit is $150 for executive level and below, $250 for the managerial level and above.

It will be good if your Company has a Baby Gift Policy as it is an occasion that is worth celebrating, be it female employee or male employee’s spouse.
