PETALING JAYA: With more Malaysians prioritising a better work-life balance, experts say more changes should be introduced for companies to foster a healthier work environment.
New changes under the Employment Act 1955 to working hours and arrangements, which are set to come into effect on Jan 1 next year, include weekly working hours being from 48 to 45 hours, flexible working arrangements, 98 days of maternity leave (at present it’s 60 days) and the introduction of seven days of paternity leave.
