JOHOR BAHARU: Employers have been urged not to force their employees to work excessive long hours and outside job tasks which contravene the Employment Act 1955.
Human Resource Minister Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam said under the act, employees were required to work for eight hours per day and an additional four hours would be considered an overtime.
“Employers should not squeeze the life of their employees. Usually, employees are willing to work longer hours to earn more to feed their families.
“Treat them fairly,” he said when met at an international research seminar on Tamil education here yesterday.
