Employers in Sabah are encouraged to contact the Resource Development
and Information Technology Ministry if they require clarification and
help in the implementation of minimum wage.
Its minister Datuk
Dr Yee Moh Chai said the Government has been organising talks and
programmes to disseminate information on the RM800 minimum wage
implementation.
“We have even organised talks in Mandarin to help
local Chinese-speaking business communities gain some input on the
matter and let them know that it is already in place and it is only a
matter of time for it to be fully implemented,” he said.
Yee
stressed the need for employers to be fully informed on the issue, so
those requiring more information on the matter should feel free to
contact the ministry.
He said Human Resource Minister Datuk Seri
Dr. S. Subramaniam’s recently announced that the Government was ready to
assist employers in implementing the minimum wage as smoothly as
possible, such as the grace period that small sectors can enjoy, among
others.
Meanwhile, Yee said the Government has been working
continuously on ways to resolve unemployment issues, and is mindful of
‘unsaleable’ sectors that are in need of employees.
