Can your Employer force you to work on Public Holidays? According to the Employement Act 1955 at Section 60D (1), Employees are allowed to a paid holiday on any of the recognized public holidays. However if you are requested to work on those days, Section 60D (1A) states that an Employer is allowed to give you an additional day off to replace that day. What about being paid on the public holiday you’re working ? Section 60D (3)(a) provides that regardless of the hours you work or if you’re paid monthly or hourly, you’re entitled to an additional two days pay for that day! So if you earn RM 60 a day, you’ll earn RM 180 on a public holiday 💸 #EmploymentLawMalaysia #EmploymentAct1955
