Deductions of benefit (modified 0 times) Yoga Profile | Email Hi there, I have been working in a Norwegian oil & gas company based in malaysia for 17 months…. Recently I have tendered in my resignation…. The company has accepted the resignation…. They informed me that they will deduct some benefits provided by the company since I did not fulfill the service for the year…. My company provides RM 1000 as sports benefit for per calendar year…. So I have made this claim in march…its fully paid off already… But on May I received a good offer and I am moving off to the new company…. So now the company is deducting the RM 1000 from my salary… I have checked the labour law and this does not fall under any lawfull deduction… When I asked them they say this falls under industrial act coz my salary is more than 2000…. In my HR policy otherwise….there is a statement saying… • All employee shall not accrue eligibility for any benefit, rights or privileges beyond the last day worked. At the same time at the end of this policy it also written • ALL policies are subject to local laws where we operate in Which category do I fall into now??industrial or labour?? Can my company make this sort of deduction??? Please advise… Thank you. Regards, Yoga Rajan 26 May, 2008 16:20:45
