Navigating Malaysian Labor Laws with Timesheet Software

Compliance with Malaysian labor laws is crucial for businesses operating in the region. The Employment Act 1955 sets clear guidelines on working hours, overtime, and rest days. Recent amendments effective from January 1, 2023, reduced the maximum weekly working hours from 48 to 45, while daily working hours should not exceed 8 hours, capped at 12 including overtime. Non-compliance can lead to penalties ranging from RM 10,000 to RM 50,000 for first-time offenses.
