Employers say 'no' to Cola

PETALING JAYA: Employers are not in favour of giving out cost of living allowance (Cola) to workers, saying it has already been absorbed into the wage systems.

Slamming the Malaysian Trades Union Congress’ call for employees to be given Cola as “unjustified”, Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) executive director Shamsuddin Bardan said employers already took into account rising prices when they reviewed their salary scales every three years.
