FAW-Volkswagen has issued an internal verbal notice canceling BD bonuses for 2025 and 2026. These bonuses account for 40%–45% of employees' total annual income and are regarded as a year-end bonus. They were previously deposited into employees' group annuity accounts and constituted pre-saved salary. The adjustment affects engineering and technical personnel in the P and O sequences as well as workshop workers, and no written document has yet been issued. In recent years, employees' monthly income has already fallen by 20%–30%. The company cites policy changes and operating pressure, while lawyers believe its legal application is erroneous. FAW-Volkswagen's sales have declined in recent years, with an obvious drop since 2026. Fuel vehicles account for a high proportion of its lineup, the new energy transition has only just begun, and two newly launched pure electric models have yet to boost sales. The company plans to adjust its compensation structure by the end of 2026 and subsequently add two transitional bonuses. The detailed rules remain unclear, and employees are still waiting to see whether the income gap can be made up. FAW-Volkswagen has not yet responded officially.
