Just would like to know if a company is giving MSS. Would the contract staff be given priority vs permanent?

Contract staff just buang or dont renew terus

Simpler and cleaner hence why most company are looking for contract staff

If permanent have to pay off and provide vss

there is no priority for contractors at the first place. what mss?

Is it the law or they can still buang permanent and keep contract?

Mandatory separation scheme

Its all in employee handbook when it comes to dealing with staff or malaysian law
Normally contractors will go first then permanent

In my view ans in today society, company will not want to terminate permanent but will find way to either make him resign or get non performance


If they target you, you play smart la ha

As for contract, its clearly stated in your terms of contract. Either party may end the contract with a written notice ( and the notice period which is usually 1 month to watever)

Contract staff usually in contract it already written there is notice for either party to give notice to end the employment. Example 1 month notice, mean employer have the rights to terminate your service by giving 1 month notice or employee resign and serve 1 month notice within the 1 year contract tenure. Theoritically there is no priority of retrenchment for contract staff. Unless company is going to terminate your contract immediately and quit within 24 hour, then you will get pay of 1 month salary as compensation.

Still cannot believe this type of questions are being asked.

If you are good, they will retain you even though you are just a contractor.
They might even convert you to permanent.

Actually it just happened to one of my colleagues... weird thing is this guy makes a lot of mistakes...my other colleagues and me were dumbfounded...

The more things u do, the more mistakes you make.
Maybe that’s the reason

Effective 01 January 2023, all employees, permanent or contract staff are entitled for RETRENCHMENT BENEFIT in accordance with Employment Act. This is in addition to notice period that must be given by employer to employee or cash in-lieu if without notice.

Still remember last issue on news that hundred of government contract worker termination and they did protest but at the end no one would layan them.
Why? because of contract TnC has clearly stated. You signed on it mean you had agreed whatever written in contract Black and white. Company would give VSS or MSS to contract basic worker.
