Majikan yang menggaji lima pekerja atau kurang diberi penangguhan dalam pelaksanaan skim gaji minimum untuk sektor swasta kepada 1 Julai tahun depan, kata Menteri Sumber Manusia Datuk Seri Dr S. Subramaniam.
Beliau berkata majikan yang tergolong dalam kategori ini wajib memohon penundaan kepada Majlis Perunding Gaji Negara (MPGN) sebelum atau pada 1 April 2013.
"Bagi majikan yang menggaji enam pekerja atau lebih, yang telahpun membuat permohonan penundaan kepada MPGN sebelum ini, keputusannya akan diumum selewat-lewatnya akhir bulan ini," katanya pada sidang akhbar selepas menyampaikan sumbangan RM100,000 untuk pembangunan semula Kuil Thirumurugan Aalaya Paribalana Sabai yang terletak berhampiran Hospital Kuala Lumpur (HKL), malam Isnin.
Pengumuman gaji minimum bagi sektor swasta dibuat Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak pada 30 April dan diwartakan pada 16 Julai lepas.
Perintah gaji minimum 2012 berkuat kuasa pada 1 Jan 2013 dan kadarnya akan dikaji semula setiap dua tahun.
Subramaniam berkata penguatkuasaan pelaksanaannya adalah mandatori dan kerajaan menetapkan gaji minimum pekerja swasta ialah RM900 di Semenanjung dan RM800 di Sabah, Sarawak dan Labuan.
Mengulas Mesyuarat Agung Tahunan MIC ke-66 pada 9 Dis ini, beliau berkata antara isu yang akan dibangkitkan ialah dasar politik baharu yang diperkatakan Perdana Menteri Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak dan langkah pembaharuan oleh Presiden parti Datuk Seri G.Palanivel.
"Isu lain yang akan disentuh ialah pendidikan, ekonomi dan peluang perniagaan, khususnya membabitkan kontrak kerja oleh kerajaan untuk kaum India," katanya.
Subramaniam berkata satu resolusi membabitkan isu berkenaan akan dibuat pada akhir mesyuarat dan diserah kepada kerajaan untuk tindakan lanjut.
Mengenai Kuil Thirumurugan Aalaya Paribalana Sabai, beliau berterima kasih kepada Kementerian Kesihatan kerana meluluskan rancangan pembinaan semula kuil itu.
Kuil itu memberi kemudahan ibadat kepada kaum India apabila menerima rawatan atau berurusan di HKL, katanya. - BERNAMA

ReplyDeleteSome 600 companies in Malaysia have been granted an extension to the grace period ahead of the implementation of minimum wage next year.
ReplyDeleteMost of them would get an extension of between three and six months from the deadline, Human Resources Minister Dr S. Subramaniam said.
ReplyDelete"Some of these companies have been making losses consecutively for two to three years," he said after chairing the National Labour Consultative Council meeting in Putrajaya.
ReplyDeleteHe said the companies submitted their accounts to the consultative council, which decided to give them a breather to restructure their operations.
ReplyDeleteMalaysia will implement the minimum wage rule starting January 1 for big companies and on July 1 for small and medium enterprises.
ReplyDeleteThe new rule, which had been a point of contention between employers and workers' unions for at least two decades, will require companies to pay a minimum wage of 900 ringgit (US$292.24) in the peninsula and 800 ringgit in Sabah, Sarawak and Labuan.
ReplyDeleteSubramaniam noted that the number of companies granted extensions was small compared to the total number of applications, which was about 4,200 companies of various sizes and sectors.

ReplyDelete"Those granted extensions only account for a small number of all who applied. They will know the results of their applications within a week," he said.
On the possibility of granting an extension to the deadline for the private sector's new retirement age of 60 which is slated to come into force in the middle of next year Subramaniam declined to comment, saying only that an "announcement will come".

ReplyDeleteHe repeated Malaysia's stand that the new agent fees which he claimed was put at around 12,000 ringgit by maid agencies was too high and needed to be at a more affordable figure.
ReplyDeleteTo another question, Subramaniam said there had not been any formal discussion on the possibility of a government-to-government (G2G) arrangement on the hiring of Indonesian workers in Malaysia, as had been done between Malaysia and Bangladesh.
