My question here is, do the employers have such rights to do so?
Thanks.

Company has released a new edition of employee handbook recently. Reason of edition update is because they have increased the termination period notice and probation period. All staffs are given 1 month to sign and acknowledge the changes otherwise salary will be held until the employee signs.
My question here is, do the employers have such rights to do so? Thanks. |

What I meant was, today 23/9 until 23/10, that is the period we are given to read the handbook and sign. Our payroll is 25th every month. If by 25th, for those still not signing, then will hold the salary until agree to sign...

QUOTE(woody33 @ Sep 24 2014, 12:06 AM) The 2 change can't b applied on existing staffs because it was stated in ur OL They are smart enough to put a statement in the appointment letter that employee handbook can overwrite whatever conditions written in the letter. But this wasn't written in mine though because only recently they implemented this according to my newer colleagues.this company so chinaman QUOTE(edoras81 @ Sep 24 2014, 01:35 AM) Firstly the Employment Act only applies if your salary is RM2000.00 or less per month. Even then Clause 19 does not allow an employer to withhold your salary for any reason. Nope, holding salary wasn't stated anywhere. Secondly, unless you employment agreement specifically provides for the holding of your salary in express terms, it is a fundamental breach of your employment agreement and/or labour rights and no employer is entitled to withhold your salary for any reason whatsoever. I'm fed up with employers thinking they can get away with this crap. You can quote me on this. QUOTE(frost99 @ Sep 24 2014, 02:24 AM) Sounds like you can legally debate this, but it would not be productive for your long term future at that company to do so. Smaller, local companies usually do this, probably because they see some need to change policies to try protect the business at that point in time (such as very high staff turnover, etc). Well, I don't mind the changes, but I want to speak up because if they can do this for this time, I am pretty sure they will use the same tactic again in the future. I am seeking for advices here because I feel that, it's very unfair for the employees. And yet, no one dares to utter a word, that really amazes me.If the changes to notice period and probation period is not excessive, then I personally don't see it as a big deal. If its that bad a change then it will impact their future hiring and probably it will be changed again later. I doubt it is that terrible a change but really depends on how each individual feels about it. |
