KUALA LUMPUR: The Human Resources Ministry needs to review the amendments made to the Employment Act 1955 to ensure employers are not burdened while keeping their businesses afloat, says Datuk Seri Dr Wee Ka Siong (BN-Ayer Hitam).
He said that while the amendments provided maximum protection for the workers, the businesses may face sustainability issues.
Dr Wee also said that the operating cost would increase as the amendment also stipulated that employees with a salary range up to RM4,000 were entitled for overtime payment. “These three issues, combined with the increase of the electric tariff for commercial users, would force operators to find ways to adapt.
