Bosses have to pay RM10,000 levy in full

PUTRAJAYA: Employers will have to pay RM10,000 in full annually, instead of just 20% of the total levy, if they wish to maintain their skilled foreign workers who have worked for at least 10 years with them, says Finance Minister Lim Guan Eng.

The government announced on Monday that foreign workers will have to pay 80% of the RM10,000 levy, with employers bearing the remaining 20% if they decide to extend their service for an additional three years.
