01Malaysia will pilot a progressive salary model

According to Kuala Lumpur, recently, Malaysia's Minister of Economy, Rafez, presented the "Progressive Salary Policy White Paper" in parliament, which Malaysia will pilot in June next yearProgressive Wage Model. The progressive salary model refers to the industry setting different job levels based on the scope of work and required skills. Employees at higher levels will receive higher salaries, and employers should pay them corresponding progressive salaries based on their work scope, rather than whether they have completed relevant training.


It is reported that Malaysian employees generally face the problem of low wagesAmong the 6.54 million workforce, 73.3% of employees earn less than RM5000 per month. The plan will start accepting applications from businesses starting from April next year, and all Malaysian employees with a monthly salary of less than RM5000 can participate. It is estimated that 4 million people will benefit, and the government will allocate RM30 million to support the implementation of this plan.


In line with the implementation of a progressive salary system, the Malaysian Ministry of Economy will also launch the "Annual Salary Increase Guidelines" next year, which will establish basic salaries and salary adjustment ranges for various fields and professions. Malaysia's Minister of Economy, Rafez, said that after six months of trial implementation of the progressive salary system, the Ministry of Economy will submit a report to the cabinet and fully implement it after making adjustments. This model is not only conducive to improving people's income levels, but also helps to promote healthy competition among enterprises.
