CASE STUDIES

THE PREVIOUS AMENDMENTS TO THE EMPLOYMENT ACT 1955

The amendments to the Employment Act 1955 have come into force and employers have been warned several times by the Ministry of Human Resources, through the media, on the consequences of non-compliance with the law. Are you aware of the provisions of the Employment Act and the implications and effects of the amendments, especially on the following:
Giving loans to employees and making deductions from their wages even with their consent Paying wages by cheque or through a bank account Allowing female employees to resume work before the expiry of maternity leave Sick leave eligibility Rights to those earning more than RM1,500.00 Part-time and foreign employees Incentive payment schemes Flexible hours of work Powers of the labour department

Holidays Compulsory Public Holidays When A Public Holiday Falls On A Rest Day Substitution Of Public Holidays Public Holiday While On Sick Leave, Annual Leave, SOCSO Leave & Maternity Leave Work On Public Holiday And Rate Of Payment

These and many other provisions of the Act may have adverse consequences on your relations with your employees and therefore, it is imperative that you have a thorough understanding of the Act. This programme is designed to provide participants with knowledge and understanding of the Employment Act within the context of the latest amendments. This is to ensure competency in compliance to the requirements of the law and contract, understanding their rights, fulfilling their obligations, avoiding costly consequences and generally help them do a better job.
