hi all.

I am wondering, anyone here works in the Hotel before? For what i know, their salary comprises of base salary + 3/4 points. This points is actually the service charge or hotel performance. The more tenants or business for the company, the more value for the points.
Here's the tricks. Company save the EPF contribution due to the low base salary. Staff no need to pay for the income tax. Bonus wise is based on the base salary. So even the hotel declares 3 month bonus, the staff will be getting RM600+ only which is ridiculous. Furthermore, working hours is 6 days per week.

But still, so many people are working in the hotel. So i was wondering, what is so good in there other than free meals? Even after retired, the EPF that you and the company contribute won't last the staff for 1 year. How to survive?

that's why, i seriously think the hotel workers in Malaysia is really underpaid. Not just the salary, even working hours is 6 days. I mean is kinda waste of time studying hotel management and getting peanuts salary. I know a friend of mine who studied hotel management and end up selling handphones.

well, nowdays has change. furthemore in malaysia here, not many people are giving tips. 2ndly, why would the customer give tips when the hotel already charged them 10% service charge?

It did happen the old times i guess, but not now. For those who are working in the Hotel, they will know. I have work before in 1 of the 5 star hotels in KL for about 3 months, and not a single customer give tips.
