Wages per day = monthly salary ÷ 26. An incomplete year counts by whole months. Notice in lieu: 4 weeks under 2 years, 6 weeks from 2 to 5 years, 8 weeks from 5 years, unless your contract gives more.
What it does
When a Malaysian employer ends a contract for reasons other than misconduct or retirement, an employee with at least 12 months of service receives termination benefits (Employment (Termination and Lay-Off Benefits) Regulations 1980): 10 days' wages for each year under 2 years of service, 15 days from 2 to 5 years and 20 days from 5 years. Without the notice of section 12, the employer also pays the wages for the notice period.
How to use it
- Type your monthly salary and the dates.
- Choose the reason, say whether notice was given and type the leave not taken.
- Read the termination benefits, the notice pay and the total.
