Minimum wage exemption until year-end for employers of less than five workers

ALOR SETAR: Employers with less than five workers have been exempted from the implementation of the Minimum Wage Order (PGM) 2022 until the end of the year, says Deputy Human Resources Minister Datuk Awang Hashim.

He said, however, that employers involved in professional fields such as lawyers and doctors would still have to follow the stipulated minimum salary of RM1,500 for each employee, regardless of how many workers they have.
