The Sabah Labour Ordinance (Amendment) Bill 2024 was tabled for its first reading in the Dewan Rakyat on 10/07/2024. The aim of these changes is to comply with international standards and practices as required by the International Labour Organization (ILO), in line with Malaysia's obligations and commitments at the international level. This is also the first step towards compliance with the obligations under the Malaysia Agreement 1963.
Unlike the current wage limit of RM2,500 and below, the amendment, once implemented, will cover all employees regardless of their wages, with certain exceptions. Other major changes include a 45-hour workweek, 98 days of maternity leave, paternity leave, increased entitlement to sick leave, sexual harassment investigation procedures, protection against discrimination in employment, flexible working arrangements, changes to provisions on employment of children and young person, provision of minimum standards for housing, accommodation, and amenities, etc. The objectives of this course are:
• To equip participants with the understanding of the new provisions of the Ordinance to ensure proper implementation in the workplace and avoid non-compliance.
• To offer guidance for employers in making changes to their existing human resources policy and contract of employment.
