KUALA LUMPUR: The Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF) hopes the Safe@Work programme implemented by the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (MITI) would be extended to employers in all sectors of industry.
At present, the voluntary programme is only open to the manufacturing sector and its related services, president Datuk Dr Syed Hussain Syed Husman said in a statement today.
The Safe@Work initiative, which is part of the Strategic Programme to Empower the People and Economy (PEMERKASA), enables participating employers to receive an additional tax deduction of up to RM50,000 tax for rental expenses incurred on premises and hostels provided as living accommodation for employees.
