My company has a trend to pay us late, sometimes on the 15th and sometimes even hutang till 1 month especially for higher salary people like the managers. Anyone encounter this before? My mom wasnt happy because she needs the money to pay for my car installments.

you can report to Director General of Labour Law with proper documents as proof.

What is their explanation of the late payment ?

no explaination at all.
I know there's someone whose salary gets delayed for 3 months.zzzz
but he works for company 20 years already la.

It is only normal for a financially troubled company. For your own benefit it is better for you to seek a more financially stable company.

Avoid non established consultant, construction or project based companies at the moment.

Salary delay without an official statement to explain such occasion is totally unacceptable.

before, the cleaners salary here were delayed sometimes untill 4 months..
pity to them especially who come from poor family..
and i heard that, who ban or resign from working within these delayed period would not be paid..

ihsan: mak cik in my previous block..

Well its totally unacceptable but this is malaysia and its common.
Delay afew weeks still ok lar for small companies or those companies who having financial issues...just don't go over 2months...else start to look for new job already.

thought by law it has to be not later by 7th of every month..

If salary payment delay happen once in a blue moon, then thats ok. and its not ok if salary payment is delayed frequently.

Do you know if your company in financial problem ?

be prepared for a nwe job anytime!!!!!
some comp do have the habit to delay but won't be more than a week time!
(like my ex-comp!)
this really sound like the comp is in deep shit!

find other job before its to late

Definitely not normal to have late salary.
Does the company has HR? Check with them what went wrong.

When a company start to frequently paying the salary late without giving any reason, it means that the company cannot pay you anymore and indirectly telling you to quit an get another job. If you quit, they usually don't pay the salary they owed and they can get rid of you wihout paying any compensation.

It's time for you to speak with Top Management to check why the frequent delays. If it's a one off thing perhaps it's because there was a tie-up with cash flow but if it happens all the time, there's definitely an issue.

You should weigh the consequences of bailing out before something drastic happens, or do you think there's a possibility of things improving in the near future? If so, you may just want to persevere - loyalty does pay

run away la

While late salary might occur once in a blue moon, being late by 1-2 months is going waay overboard.

How long have you been working there? If it happens EVERY month, I suggest that you better start looking for another job.

Your company sounds like it's in a deep shit.

Good companies won't delay employee's salary. Thats for sure
