We will let you know the deferrals applicable for the current year when we are in a position to do so.

9.The salary increase will be paid monthly on the usual pay date. Please check your payroll information. If for any reason, you consider you have been paid an incorrect amount, you should contact your HR.


10.For the purposes of this letter:


"Company" means the member of the Group by which you are employed or engaged from time to time; and
