yes it is provided under the EA... but I would also like to add that

the Employment Act ONLY covers employee earning below RM1,500 a month unless you work in the manual worker industry (buruh kasar)...

so if you are earning more than that, your rights will depend on the terms of your employment contract...

HOWEVER, if your are earning RM1,500-RM5,000, the EA does cover you to the extent that, if your boss does not pay your salary, you can complain to the nearest labour office.

not too sure about Ritz Crackers comments..
As a matter of fact, Im an IT grad myself. I dont exactly work for a law firm. More towards Human Resource Capital so i need to read the employment act.
=)
I'll try to get some info on the last paragraph and post it here.
If there is any question anyone would like to ask, just post it up. And i'll try to get back to you. Cheers

Must be working in MMU.

read EA 1955, s 2, interpretatin of "employee" under the Act which will lead you to the First Schedule of the Act...

note also s 1 says EA only applicable in West Malaysia

as regard the right to complain for those earning RM1500-RM5000, see s 69B of the EA

happy reading

Can i ask where do you all get this all rules.
From a book?
I went to the site that posted at here.
Dono where to search.
Later will search more for it.

From reading the Employment Act 1955 (Act 265) itself lar!
you can always buy a copy from MPH or Kinokuniya at the statutes section...

me last time not even paid for 3 months...WTF punye boss..but my bos is Ketua Caw. U*MNO and he is one of the F*CKEST person ive ever met...but my friends advice me not to take legal action againts them becoz its useleass and could harm my future...untill now he owe me rm5,400.00

WTF!!!....i just resign and try to forget...but if i see him once again anywhere, i will hit him with my ranger..i swear...


my advice..go take legal action ...dont regret later on like me if u refuse to take ..

how long ago was that?
under the Limitation Act, you have 6 years to take a civil action against a tortfeasor... you may still have the right to sue if the matter has not lapsed 6 years no need to regret

early 2005...owwhhh..i still have the chance..thanks

=)
good luck
Ritz Crackers.. u working in a law firm?

chambering

Ya actually i also think of this where once u take legal action then it like will ruin your future. Coz this world is very small. But if i don't take this late salary for legal action then how bout the EPF as they deduct from my account and didn't bank in to my account. Actually my account they also not yet open for me. Is already the 3rd month.

Based on my cousin told me they can temporarily bank in through my IC num. Then later when they opened the EPF account alr will bank in everything in. Is this ok? How long they can bank in through my IC before to account.

That day i asked my ex-colleagues, they pay back all their EPF with the interest also to the EPF account. She is lucky coz she so fast settle it. Some over 2 years already till now also not yet settle. While some others got lawyer letter therefore they have to settle.

By the way thanks for all the reply. Now i know more about it alr.

erm... what future ruin are you guys talking about?
by taking action against unscrupulous employer, it's the employer who's being ruin, not you!

what have you got to lose?

afraid you won't get another job?
well, if the next employer is afraid of you taking action against them and refuse to employ you, that shows they are also from among those unscrupulous employer... so if they don't hire you, better still!

a good future employer will sympathize with your past experience and ensure that they do not do the same to you!

sigh... Malaysian, please know your rights and enforce it!
if you don't fight back you will forever be bullied!

Ya true also.
Not my fault also. Now really need to apply job alr. Any nice offer in IT line? Now i try to get a bigger company to work as i think is better than this all small one. But is hard to get those big company.

Basically i wonder how they escape from the legal action. For like EPF, even if we don't take legal action but they also will check. If not i don't think those KWSP ppl always come lor.
