APRIL 21 — The Employment Act 1955
The Employment Act 1955 does not apply to all employees. It only covers the categories of employees listed in the First Schedule to the Act. According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, the employees’ category accounted for 75.7 per cent of the total employed persons in January 2023 . An employer is under a duty to put up at a conspicuous part of the place of the employment, before the commencement of each calendar year, a notice specifying the public holidays to which the employee is entitled.
A piece rated employee will be paid twice the ordinary rate per piece plus the salary payable for that day. Former Treasury secretary-general, the eminent Tan Sri Mohd Sheriff Mohd Kassim rightly wrote in 2019 that companies “have to pay their employees three to four times more than the daily wage rate when they work on public holidays.”
