MTUC Claims Employers Short Charging Workers: Some errant employers are short charging their workers by including allowances, commissions and other perks to inflate the basic monthly salary to RM900 to comply with the new minimum wages regulation introduced by the government. Malaysian Trades Union Congress Vice President, A. Balasubramaniam claimed that these employers were doing so despite warnings issued by the government that they would be hauled up for such practice. He called on the Human Resources Ministry to step up enforcement to ensure that workers were not shortchanged in anyway. Effective January this year, the government has set the basic minimum wage for workers in Peninsular Malaysia, as RM900. Balasubramaniam pointed out that basic wages should not include commissions or their allowance as per their contract.
