Suggest a correction

(4)

Jika pengurangan kadar gaji minimum seseorang pekerja yang kontrak perkhidmatannya dibuat sebelum permulaan kuat kuasa Perintah ini dibuat di bawah perenggan ini dan kadar gaji minimum pekerja itu selepas pengurangan itu adalah lebih rendah daripada kadar gaji pokok yang sedang diterimanya, kadar gaji pokok itu hendaklah dikekalkan dan terus kena dibayar kepada pekerja itu.

MISALAN:

A (pekerja dalam tempoh percubaan), seorang pekerja di Semenanjung Malaysia, yang sedang dibayar gaji pokok sebanyak RM700. Majikan boleh mengurangkan kadar gaji minimum A tidak lebih daripada 30%. Pengiraan kadar gaji minimum A adalah seperti yang berikut:

Gaji pokok semasa

Kadar gaji minimum selepas pengurangan

RM700 (gaji pokok)

Gaji pokok semasa

= RM700

Gaji minimum = RM900

Peratusan pengurangan = 30%

RM900-30% = RM630

Kadar gaji minimum selepas pengurangan = RM630

Selepas pengurangan dibuat, kadar gaji minimum A adalah lebih rendah daripada kadar gaji pokok yang sedang diterimanya. Dalam hal ini, majikan tidak boleh membayar kadar gaji minimum yang dikurangkan kepada A (RM630). Kadar gaji pokok yang sedang diterima oleh A hendaklah dikekalkan dan terus kena dibayar kepada A (RM700).

(3)

P.U. (A) 214 9

Suggest a correction

(4)

If a reduction of the minimum wages rate of an employee whose contract of service has been entered into before the coming into operation of this Order is being made under this paragraph and the minimum wages rate of the employee after the reduction is lower than the rate of the basic wage he is receiving, the rate of the basic wage shall be retained and continue to be payable to the employee.

ILLUSTRATION:

A (a probationer), an employee in Peninsular Malaysia, is being paid a basic wage of RM700. The employer may reduce A’s minimum wages rate by not more than 30%. The calculation of A’s minimum wages rate shall be as follows:

Current basic wage

Minimum wages rate after reduction

RM700 (basic wage)

Current basic wage

= RM700

Minimum wages = RM900

Reduced percentage = 30%

RM900-30% = RM630

Minimum wages rate after reduction

= RM630

After the reduction is made, A’s minimum wages rate is lower than the rate of the basic wage he is receiving. In this case, the employer cannot pay the reduced minimum wages rate to A

(RM630). The rate of the basic wage A is receiving shall be retained and continue to be payable to A (RM700).
