KUALA LUMPUR: Not paying workers or paying salaries late is one of the 11 elements of forced labour according to the International Labour Organization (ILO), says V. Sivakumar.
The Human Resources Minister said employers accused of practising forced labour, especially those which export products face the risk of not being able to do business with other countries.
He also reminded employers that it was compulsory to pay workers with bank transfers into their accounts and not with cash or cheques."Employers who fail to pay workers via a bank account are liable to a fine of not more than RM50,000," he said during a press conference at Wisma Perkeso here on Tuesday .
