As mentioned in the title, please enlighten me. Thanks.

The company I am currently with is unwilling to confirm me, and hence they offered me a 1 month contract job.

Most of the things is same, just no EPF and SOCSO.

I has a feeling of either one of us will sack each other anytime.

Just appreciate if anyone can share if they took/encountered any EPFless and SOCSOless contract offer.

Thanks for your golden advice. It is very helpful of you and you pwned every one else here.

I receive payslip monthly. But now they decided to end my probation, and start with a service of contract thingy.

No, I am not a 3rd party contractor or vendor, I sit in their office and I punch in every morning.

Thanks rognales for the accurate reference.

Does a freelancer has job title?

Thanks for your opinion. I just like to find out if this is a common practice.

Its sort of a new thing to me that a contractor do not hv EPF. So I am just trying to find out if they are making me a space goat or I am just not well informed about Malaysia Law

Called EPF anyway.

This is stated in the KWSP website:
* Other payments stipulated under contracts of services/employment or vice versa.

And the officer I talked to in KWSP say that any contract that against Malaysia Law is not legal, even if you signed it and it say no EPF.

What does this mean?

Thats the thing, if say only employee can deserve it, the next thing I will see is the employer digging into the legal dictionary to define what is employee. I have in no position to deal with that kind of legal knowledge or argument.

All I know, I work for you, and you pay me salary and EPF. It is not up to what the contract say it if it is about the law, nor the contract can state that you can burn down your clients' houses if they make late payment and you can go and burn people's house.

And I found this:



In this case, the proprietary company need to bear the EPF, etc cost.

Reducing basic benefit is certainly not something encouraging, sometimes, it can be translated into tactic to cut staff.

I was on probation, and due to the reason I mentioned on another thread, I am demoted to contract staff.

Why not? And it is not because of the "BSness" or how cheap of it, it is our right. Its like I say, "Why we need IC? I dont use it most of the time and I rarely use Touch n' Go anyway!"

Not everybody sit inside a comfortable office block, I have 5 tons metal plate hanging up and down beside me, you will be looking at a spagetti paste if any of these fallen off the magnetic hook.

And do you think work place is safe? I had an ex-colleague slipped and hurt her neck in the office, she has been fully covered by SOCSO for all her medical needs plus one year of paid sick leave so she can focus on her treatment.
