Thank y’all for replying… it was a short term full time job (8am-6pm daily mon to fri for one month), so only agreed the work details in WhatsApp. No epf no socso… does WhatsApp conversation counts as official offer/contract/letter?

Whatsapp should also be binding (if i'm not wrong), because its still a written reply. When you say "no EPF, no SOCSO" it means you've checked your EPF account and no deduction/ contribution? Or its no because it wasn't mentioned by the boss...?

You might as well list down your working days for Feb and March. Labour dept is quite strict.

Labour law is favoring employees when it comes to deduction. So for February, 1100- (1100/28 x number of non working days including weekend prior to hiring you). So for March, it would be 1100-(1100/31 x number of non working days including weekend after your services is terminated).

I included weekends since your boss given you a round monthly figure and not part time rate per day. If the amount does not tally, you can ask labour dept to calculate for you.

Yeah it doesn't seem to make sense that they underpay by only RM150 on purpose. But regardless, when in doubt its always good to check.

Just finished my finals paper... And yes, there's no contribution to my EPF at all, it indeed makes no sense to underpay RM150 on purpose FOR ONE PEOPLE but he hired 5-6 short term full timers during my time there, all received 150 less. I've been asking around all the new and previous temporary employees there, all the same, no offer letter, most of them also students doing full time 1 to 2 months so they all think it's just a small amount not worth the trouble to go the legal route, but for the boss he got so much extra pocket money from cutting our promised pay. For each month with 6 workers, one year already save 10800.

You can report this to the company's PIC and HR, let them know all of you realized this issue. Inform the company to rectify and reimburse, then see what's their response. If no response, follow up with another email. By the time still no response on the 3rd email - i think you can compile all these evidence and file a complaint.

Basically you burnt the bridge when you or any of the others make such complaint. Then again, if its a legit case then I wouldn't want to work for an unethical company like that #justsaying
