The minimum wages for Security guards have been increased from the going rate of approximately RM450/- per month to RM750/-per month or an increase of 66.6%!This was effective from January 2011.
The Government had, in the 2nd half or 2010, communicated that a minimum wage law would be implemented after the appointment of a Minimum Wages Council to study the present situation and make recommendations. So far, we have not heard anything more on this and we are closely monitoring this because the cost implications for, particularly the companies which negotiate collective agreements with the trade unions, will be heavy because most companies have kept the minimum of their salary scales low, so that they do not have to pay foreign labour more than necessary (in their opinion).If the minimum salary scale is increased by 20%,the additional cost of the implementation of the minimum wage law, then companies will be compelled to increase the wages of their employees, at least of those in the lowest grade, by this percentage to maintain the employees at the same "point" in the new wage scale. It is imperative that those negotiating Collective Agreements in 2011 consider the possible ramifications of this possibility.
The retirement age of government employees is 58 and the Prime Minister indicated I 2010 that this will be increased to 60 soon. When exactly this will take place has not been announced.Meanwhile,the retirement age in the private sector remains at 55 and the Malaysian Employers' Federation is opposed to any increase in the retirement age, maintaining that this gives employers an opportunity to get rid of the "dead wood". This is a ridiculous argument because there are many ways, allowed by law, through which the poor performing employees' services can be terminated.
Why should there be a difference in the retirement age policy in the Government and the private sector? The government employees are already (generally) earning better wages and benefits than their counterparts in particularly the lower wage/salary grades.
Meanwhile, the amendments to the Employment Act have still not been passed in Dewan Rakyat...the Trade Unions are unhappy with the proposed amendments. Looks like this is another piece of legislation which will be shelved for the time-being due to the impending National elections!
