Not really sure is this under the right section.

Anyway, I have this question. I have been offered a job as Management Trainee and there will be 6 months for probation.

I was shocked when I read bout employer and myself will not contribute to the epf & socso while im still under probation.

Is there any law that allow employer not to make contribution for those employee under probation? Is this legal?

yup, depend on the company and your contract correct me if i wrong

Do they compensate in other way? Perhaps higher salary?

I think the company can choose not to contribute since probation staff arent consider normal staff, they are almost like contract basis.

Find out from ur co-workers and if this is the company's policy, then nth u can do about it.

At least all my employers contributed during my probation periods.

Same goes to my employer too.

When I was industrial trainee didn't get any EPF and SOCSO o... I think most trainee didn't get such compensation.

the company has the right to do that, they can omit ur EPF and socso, annual leave, commission while u r under probation. But some companies do offer these benefits although u r still in probation. So the answer is ------> depend on certain company loh...

under probation definitely can get EPF, even if u worked 1 day the company also need to contribute, my friend father's company sued by some joker that worked for 1 day only and not contributing epf.

I hope its not an Elegant Promenande or Cobra Group job.

I also received nothing apart from some low allowance during my industrial training.

what~~ omit all the things? I don't think they can do that? anyway I have all my anual leave, medical leave thingy, but just the epf n socso part..

N I think industrial training is far more different N I understand that during industrial training for sure we do not get any other benefits.

Yea, all my ex-employer did offer those benefits even i am still unfer probation..which is why I was shocked to hear that they do not contribute the epf & socso, n its for 6 months~

Yea I checked with other colleagues under probation as well, they just seemed like blur and even do not notice this..they assumed employer did contribute and another colleague just accept it with no doubts or questions...so..hm..

I have spoke to my boss regarding this but still he havent get back to me yet. What if boss said that they can choose not to contribute? I will just have to accept it then?

That's wat i said b4, depends on the company loh......if ur boss say this to u, TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT!!!! so wat 2 do?? take it lah......

bah... It's like hard to accept that company do not contribute for that...like kena tipu like that..

well, it depends on company. my company probation period is 3 months.

im so stupid demand salary so low, so they say they pay me what i demand for the next 3 months, and say possibly no epf contribution. but when salary time came they up my basic RM200 extra and also got contribution on epf. so nice . also got sales comission 10%, kinda happy also.

now need to wait another 2 months for confirmation and they'll up my basic RM300 more .

That's great well I demand what I want but I didn't get it. Funny thing is this RM100 for each month during my probation, they will pay me back after confimation. means RM 600 pay to me right after confirm me...

i think ur probation period so long also bcoz its related with ur job titled, and it involves the magic word, 'trainee' ;p
