QUOTE(erlangga @ Jun 16 2019, 05:28 AM) hi, I came across this thread while searching for a job, and I find this thread really interesting. Let's say a potential employer finds out your directorship status over a Sdn Bhd without your disclosure and permission [ Not signing to their Waived PDPA act nor listed it in your resume]. I understand this would be a misconduct of PDPA act. as a potential employee, what options in terms of course of action do you have? another typical situation where I usually come across in Jobstreet where employer asks for such information such as the link below.  would this practice is legitimate? if its not, as a potential employee, what should be our course of action If you want the job, do as requested. |

QUOTE(Aoumi @ Sep 1 2019, 08:33 PM) Can the future employer check your EFP or Tax thru ur EPF no. and Income tax no. after you signed the PDPA form for interview? Does signing the PDPA form give them the power to checked it? Employers have better ways to check your background than that. |

QUOTE(Aoumi @ Sep 1 2019, 10:15 PM) So you are saying employers can simply take a look at ur EPF account details or Income tax payments and declarations as if they are the owner of it? From what I know and as stated by TS in this post, they do not have any rights to do that and EPF and LHDN also won't let them. But I'm curious if you signed the PDPA, will that let the employers be able to that. From the PDPA form I don't see anything of letting them to do that but I'm not expert in these. Actually I have never the need to look at EPF and Income tax statements. To me it's not important at all. When a candidate asks for a certain salary I just have to ask him to justify for that amount. The kind of justification I'm expecting would sound like: "For 2018 I handled, executed and completed RM12million worth of projects with a budget of RM8.5 million. Through judicial cost cutting measures coupled with sharp negotiating skills, I managed to complete the projects with only RM 7.4 million thus netting my employer an extra RM1.1 million. The salary I asked represents only 6% of the total gross profit or 26% of the extra profit. Therein lies my justification." This type of candidate would get hired immediately. |

QUOTE(KetamRR @ Sep 18 2019, 03:03 PM) Recently I got terminated during my probation period. Does this mean that my next employer can do a background check on me to find out if I've been terminated if I sign the form that allows the company to do a background check on me? Will I have a lower employment chance if they find out that I got terminated then? Well, if your next employer calls your previous employer, they'll find out for sure. After that, awkward questions will follow. Whether you get the job or not depends on how best you answer those awkward questions. |

QUOTE(Captain89 @ Sep 18 2019, 09:27 PM) Current employer can't call up previous employer when you don't give it to them How does the prospective employer find out about the performance and character of the candidate and then make decision to hire if he is not allowed to call up his current employer? |
