双薪 most often refers to the year-end bonus of one extra month's salary — a standard perk in Chinese state-owned enterprises and many foreign companies. Compare with 十三薪 (the '13th-month salary') which means the same thing.
usage
Also used in the compound 双薪家庭 'dual-income family', especially in housing-price and fertility-policy discussions.
