The amendment will also see an enhancement in maternity allowance and a reduction of work hours and an expansion of the scope of overtime entitlement and enhancement of hospitalisation leave. The penalty for offenses is increased as well. Employers would need to ensure their policies and practices meet these provisions and tweak their operational arrangement, among others, such as in work hour revision. The implementation of the minimum wage order 2022 saw increased labour cost by about 26% and these new amendments are expected to further increase the labour cost at a minimum of 6%.
