Key Amendments to the Employment Act 1955 Have Begun

At the start of the new year, key amendments to the Employment Act 1955 were implemented.

These amendments include:

  • Extra protection afforded to workers who earn below RM4,000

  • Increased maternity leave from 60 days to 98 days

  • 7 days of paternity leave

  • Maximum working hours shortened from 48hrs to 45hrs

  • Changes in the calculation of wages for employees who have worked for less than 1 month

  • Employees are now allowed to apply for flexible working arrangements (and employers must respond within 60 days)
