Drafting of Appointment Letter
Member
Dear Mr Siew,
Good day to you. I would like to seek your advise on the following scenario, if they can be incorporated into an Appointment Letter:-
Company: Automobile workshop
Position: Mechanic or Admin clerk
Basic Salary: RM1,300
Working hours: 9.00am - 5.00pm (Mon - Sat with one offday during the week day and Sundays until 3.00pm)
Overtime: RM500 from 5pm - 7pm (expected to work OT daily except on offdays & Sundays which ends at 3.00pm)
Questions:-
Does the above conditions infringe the labour law in terms of exceeding the work hours per week?
Can OT be made compulsory and in a fixed amount?
Looking forward to your reply and your views on other points which I may have left out.
Thanks & regards,
Shuh Man
Administrator
That may infringe Section 60A of the Employment Act. You may consult the Labour Department also. For others points you can refer to the Employment Regulations.
