MIXED VIEWS ON MINIMUM WAGE INCREMENT QUANTUM
Jump in minimum wage may be too much for businesses to absorb
Economists are divided over the quantum of the minimum wage hike at a time when businesses are still grappling with the impact from Covid-19, which has been raging for two years. Last Saturday, Prime Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob announced that the minimum wage will be increased to RM1,500 from RM1,200 effective May 1. Initially, it will apply to big firms and government-linked companies. Socio-Economic Research Centre (SERC) executive director Lee Heng Guie said a jump of 25% in minimum wage is too much for businesses to absorb as they are not fully recovered from the coronavirus pandemic.

SMES CAN DELAY RM1,500 MINIMUM WAGE, SAYS MINISTER
Only larger companies required to pay new wage from May, SMEs exempted
Micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) will be exempted from applying the RM1,500 minimum wage rate from May 1. Entrepreneur development and cooperatives minister Noh Omar told the Dewan Rakyat that only larger companies will be required to pay the new minimum wage, revised from RM1,200 previously. He said the ministry had decided to delay the minimum wage deadline for MSMEs because of the effects of the Covid-19 pandemic on smaller businesses. Replying to Nurul Izzah Anwar (PH-Permatang Pauh) in the Dewan Rakyat today, Noh said the government would continue to help the SMEs to recover.

Natwest faces a damages claim of more than £2m after it unfairly dismissed a banker just two days after her operation for colon cancer. The High Street lender was found to have discriminated against Adeline Willis on the basis of disability in a move that left her 'physically and emotionally in turmoil', according to her lawyers. Chief executive Alison Rose was even dragged into the case after Willis sent her an email entitled 'Cry for help.' Willis, 44, had bumped into Rose at the bank's Bishopsgate headquarters in the weeks following her diagnosis in 2019.
