An individual is presumed under law to be an employee if the following conditions are met, in absence of a written contract.\n\nThe conditions are:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Their manner of work is subject to the direction or control of another person;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Their working hours are under the direction or control of another person;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">They receive tools, supplies, or equipment from another individual to do a task;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Their work is a crucial component of another person&#8217;s enterprise;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Their work is performed purely for another person&#8217;s benefit; or<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">They receive compensation for the task they perform on a regular basis, and this compensation makes up most of their income.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"probation\">Probation<\/h2>\nProbationary periods are not required by law in Malaysia. It is only recommended as a best practice.\n\nThere is no minimum or maximum probationary period to be imposed \u2014 all probationary periods are up to the employer\u2019s discretion. They typically last for three to six months.\n\nThe terms of an employee\u2019s probation should be clearly stated in their employment contract. It should include the length of the probation period, the confirmation process, as well as the notice period should either party choose to end the relationship.\n\nEmployees under probationary status are afforded the same rights as regular employees. This applies to minimum wage, public holidays, overtime rates, annual leave and more. Their benefits will also be dependent on their employment contract.\n\nEmployers should not terminate a probationer\u2019s service without just cause or excuse. Affected employees on probation can make a claim to the Director-General for Industrial Relations for unfair dismissal, if they feel that they have been dismissed without any valid reasons.\n<h2 id=\"minimum-wage\">Minimum wage<\/h2>\nAccording to the <a href=\"https:\/\/lom.agc.gov.my\/act-view.php?language=BI&amp;type=pua&amp;no=P.U.%20(A)%20140\/2022\">Minimum Wage Order 2022<\/a>, employees are entitled to a minimum wage of <strong>RM1,500<\/strong> across the board for all employers.\n\nThis order is not applicable to domestic employees.\n<h2 id=\"working-hours\">Working hours<\/h2>\nNon-shift employees should not be required to work:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">More than 8 hours a day;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">More than 5 consecutive hours without a break of at least 30 minutes;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">More than 45 hours in a week; and<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">More than a spread over a period of 10 hours in a day.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nHowever, exceptions apply, in the case of:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Accidents, actual or threatened, in the place of work;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Work essential to the life of the community;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Work for the defence or security of Malaysia;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Urgent work to be done to machinery;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">An interruption of work which was impossible to foresee; or<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Work in any industrial undertaking essential to the economy of Malaysia or any essential service as defined under the Industrial Relations Act.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"overtime-pay\">Overtime pay<\/h2>\nUnder the Employment Act, employees with wages of up to <strong>RM4,000\/month<\/strong> are entitled to overtime compensation.\n\nAny hours of work carried out in excess of the normal hours of work per day will be classified as overtime work. The \u2018normal hours of work\u2019 refers to the number of hours of work agreed between an employer and an employee in the contract of service.\n\nOvertime entitlements for employees are as follows:\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><strong>Working hours<\/strong><\/td>\n<td><strong>Overtime rates<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Normal work day, but working in excess of normal working hours<\/td>\n<td>Not less than 1.5 times hourly rate of pay<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rest day, but working normal working hours or less than normal working hours<\/td>\n<td><strong>For employees employed on a daily, hourly or other similar rate of pay:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If work does not exceed half the normal hours of work: 1 day\u2019s wages at the ordinary rate of pay<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If work is more than half but does not exceed normal hours of work: 2 days wages at the ordinary rate of pay<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<strong>For employees employed on a monthly or weekly rate of pay:<\/strong>\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If work does not exceed half the normal hours of work: half the ordinary rate of pay<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">If work is more than half but does not exceed normal hours of work: 1 day\u2019s wages at the ordinary rate of pay<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Rest day, but working in excess of normal working hours<\/td>\n<td>Not less than 2 times hourly rate of pay<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Public holiday, but working normal working hours or less than normal working hours<\/td>\n<td><strong>For employees employed on a monthly, weekly, daily, hourly or other similar rate of pay:<\/strong> 2 days wages at the ordinary rate of pay\n<strong>\nFor employees employed on piece rates:<\/strong> 2 times ordinary rate per piece<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Public holiday, but working in excess of normal working hours<\/td>\n<td>Not less than 3 times hourly rate of pay<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\nAccording to the EA, the ordinary rate of pay for employees employed on a monthly basis shall be calculated by dividing the monthly rate of pay with 26 working days.\n\nFor employees who are not statutorily eligible for overtime, employers can, but are not required to, stipulate relevant provisions relating to overtime rates within their employment contracts.\n<h2 id=\"rest-days\">Rest days<\/h2>\nEmployees are entitled a whole day of rest every week, or as determined by the employer. For employees engaged in shift work, any continuous period of not less than 30 hours shall constitute a rest day.\n\nHowever, if the employee has to work on the rest day, or overtime on the said rest day, they must be paid in accordance with the overtime payments set out in the table above.\n<h2 id=\"flexible-work-arrangements\">Flexible work arrangements<\/h2>\nEmployees can submit a written application to their employer, for a flexible working arrangement to vary the hours of work, days of work, or place of work.\n\nEmployers who receive such applications will be required to approve or refuse the application within 60 days, and inform the employee of the decision made in writing.\n\nIf the application is refused, the employer must provide grounds for refusal.\n<h2 id=\"employment-contracts\">Employment contracts<\/h2>\nAny fixed-term employment that lasts <strong>longer than one month<\/strong> requires a formal written contract, according to the EA.\n\nThe contract should specify crucial terms of the contract of service between the employer and employee, such as:\n<ul>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Work scope;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Work location;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Wage rate;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Wage period;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Employment benefits;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Public holidays;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Annual leave;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Sick leave;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Maternity and paternity leave;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Confidentiality clauses;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Termination and dismissal;<\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\">Retirement; and more.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nEmployers must keep all labour contracts for <strong>at least six years<\/strong> after the contracts have expired.\n\nAn employment contract cannot restrict an employee\u2019s rights to participate or join trade unions.\n\nAn oral contract can be accepted as employment, as provided by the Contracts Act 1950 and Employment Act 1955. However, oral contracts can be difficult to prove and enforce, and written contracts are recommended to avoid future disputes over the existence of the contract, and terms agreed by both parties.\n\nEven if a contract of service is signed and agreed upon by both parties, Section 7 of the EA states that terms which are less favourable shall be void and substituted by those prescribed under the EA.\n\nFor more information, check out our guide to HR compliance in Malaysia.\n\n<h2 id=\"relevant-legislation\">Relevant legislation<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a
