I wonder anybody actually aware that Flextronics in Penang shut down very frequently.

The most important thing is... It deducts employee annual leave during shutdown period. The frequency of shutdown is about 1-2 days a month.

New hire has no annual leave during probation period. End up... the new hire will have negative annual leave!!!!

As such... employee is forced to apply unpaid leave whenever they need to on leave...!! OMG~~~~

Isn't this violate Malaysia Labour Law??

Added on April 30, 2008, 9:11 pmWorking environment in Flextronics is very strict where you have to scan-in-out everyday punctually before 8 am. Their cultural is... even 8 am is considered late. Every month end you will receive a scan-in-out report, you and your supervisor have to sign...

If unfortunately you are short of 1 min, your salary will be deducted by 1 day. You will then receive an unpaid leave report - where you have to get the signature of IT director & also VP of asia in hardcopy..... @#@#!@#

Why nobody commenting about Flextronics cultural in any forum?
Interesting.... :-)

I see... so it's different cultural at different plans for Flextronics.
What I'm commenting is about the Flextronics in Bkt Myk.

What about shutting down?
How frequent is it in Shah Alam?

i think i read across a forum that labor law states that employer must at least give 1month for 1 year of service, so 5 yr u can get at least 5 months if they op for retrech. any bro can confirm this is true?

YES, Flex Penang(Global Operatin, P1A,P1,P3,P5) is giving VSS @ 10% from each departments, and at Cisco (Infrastructure P2) @ 20% of VSS at each department.  Last Friday at 3 PM all the name has been submited. ... Rules is Last in First Out and follows with volunteers, by end March is last working day ...

Vistapoint not have influence cause it is related to R&D development and prototype running. Even how bad the economic, they still need it for development their business area.

So for those who worked there more than 10 years will get 10 months salary on VSS?

I heard that Flex PG will have 3 days work starting next QTR...any insider can confirm this?

3 days is even more free then my college days!

Its only rumours unless its confirmed by insiders...I thought Bosch PG already started 3 work days per week quite some time ago?So i guess its Flex time now...

As i know from newspaper,its SHah Alam plant that is shutting down.

Yeah,i heard of that and a friend of mine also told me that same for PG plant...one week shutdown no business.I thnk if this continue,might have VSS soon from Flex again.

ow really.. its bad idea to get into flex right now

Latest news...but still remain rumours till insider confirm this news.
Flex will be on 3 days work soon...Just had supper last night with a group of friends and were talking about this rumours.

Wow,this is bad...but its only rumours right?

flex is shutting down plant for 1 week starting tomorrow, and for penang plant, you get 1 month pay per 1 year service. if you work 10 years, you get 10 months pay. but i doubt they will kick old employees, cause their policy is Last In First Out, meaning all new comers have high chance of getting sacked

wat to do, cut cost ma, the lesser your service, the lesser they will pay you rite?
