KOTA KINABALU: The government has prepared an implementing mechanism to ensure the minimum wage set for the private sector does not unnecessarily burden employers or incur loss for employees.
Assistant Minister of Resource Development and Information Technology, Datuk Jainab Ahmad said the mechanism would, among other things, allow allowances or regular cash payments in the calculation of a minimum wage.
Further, the date of implementation for the minimum wage is six months after the order is issued.
“However, to make way for small-time employers to be fully prepared so their business won’t be jeopardised, the date of implementation for this category of employers is 12 months from the date of order when the minimum wage is gazetted,” she said.

ReplyDeleteSupporters of the minimum wage say that it increases the standard of living of workers, reduces poverty, and forces businesses to be more efficient.
ReplyDeleteBagus juga. Kalau ikut kelulusan lagi bagukan..haha
ReplyDeleteThe minimum wage policy is expected to be implemented early next year, which is six months after the Prime Minister made his announcement on the policy.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the minimum wage of RM800 for Sabahans will help improve the livelihood of the hardcore workers. We shall wait and see.
