PETALING JAYA: Employers must comply with the public holiday declared on Sept 15 by either giving employees the day off with regular pay, paying public holiday rates if they are required to work, or offering a replacement day off.
Human Resources Minister Steven Sim Chee Keong said the implementation of the holiday is subject to provisions under Section 60D(1) of the Employment Act 1955, the Sabah Labour Ordinance (Chapter 67), the Sarawak Labour Ordinance (Chapter 76), and the Holidays Act 1951, and it must be done fairly.
