Transcript

Padana Mall three announced this public holiday. Oh! No many business owners come and text me and say that, Auntie, if we have already published our gazetted holiday, do we still need to recognize this auntie? And the answer is yes, you have. It's the law. And many of them say, I refuse to follow this. One day. Can you imagine the damage of one day? If their wages is less than 4,000 a month, by law, you have to compensate with public holiday rates. Otherwise, if it's above 4 k per month, then it's a one on, one to one replacement leave. And office workers? It doesn't better. Your office worse, the your retail, the demarcation is your salary, 4,000 no or above. That is the difference. Pay. That that is the demarcation. Below, you have to pay above optional. Mhmm. Even optional not to replace. But let's say in the situation Yes. Where the employer is like, no no no no. I don't care. It's Friday or Monday. Whichever day tier public holiday becomes, I'm not recognizing the other day. Everyone in the office or in the store on Monday. Well, it depends on the employer's luck. Mhmm. Because if nobody is lodging a complaint at JDK, nobody knows that you broke the law. So it will take one brave employee to go to JDK and be a snitch. Because, you guys need to worst. I understand why people hesitant to do so because you will not be anonymous. The boss will know it's you. When you lodge a complaint, not only they will take down your name, they also will take down your IC number and your place of work so they will know it's you. Better I'm not trying to scare everybody. When sometimes when I say things like that, people say, well, auntie, why you say like that? You're trying to tell me, all these bosses are king. You see? There's nothing we rank no. Not to say that. We try to resolve this case harmoniously. Mhmm. Why don't try educating the boss first? The easiest way I will teach them, why don't you write an email to j t k yes an inquiry, not to lodge thing. Just want to find out this kind of case. Well, how would how should we handle? Then you forward the same email to your boss to educate it. Because generally speaking, I've been working with small businesses for the past few years. Right? A lot of bosses are they are not really out there to take advantage of the employees. They genuinely don't know Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The law. Yeah. Even after you already educate your boss and still your boss say that I am above the law, then honestly, please be brave and report Mhmm. Your boss. Mhmm. And in the interim, please look for your plan b and find another job. This company, you won't stay long anyway.
