MARCH 4, 2026 (WEDNESDAY) | 8.30 am- 5.00 pm | ZOOM ONLINE
INTRODUCTION
The landscape of wages and leave compliance has become increasingly complex with the ongoing enforcement of the Employment Act 1955 and new policy directions affecting HR practices nationwide. Incorrect wage calculations — especially for overtime, rest days, public holidays, unpaid leave, and resignations — continue to be a major cause of penalties and labour disputes. HR personnel are also required to ensure proper application of leave entitlements, accurate record-keeping, and adherence to statutory obligations.
With the ongoing emphasis on fair remuneration, progressive wage practices, and strict inspections by JTK, it is essential for employers to fully understand the correct interpretation of wages and leave under the law.
This programme will provide a clear and practical explanation of wage components, statutory calculations, and leave entitlements to ensure full compliance in 2026.
OBJECTIVE
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Understand the definition of wages and granting of leave
- Understand the law on calculation of wages and benefits
