Employment Law



Company employs a person as a lorry driver some 10 years ago. Company has more than 10 lorries and 20 drivers. Overall company has about 300 workers.

Company agreed with lorry driver to pay 9 hours overtime when ever lorry driver makes an outstation trip to JB or Butterworth. Employee agrees to this. Employer also pays in addition trip allowance, overnight allowance and return trip allowance and occasional yearly bonus( extra perks) which is more than the overtime claim per trip.
Now employee files a case against employer after he retires as a workman and claims for overtime for 6 years totaling about RM100k.

Employee gives evidence in court today to support his claim. Case heard in Labor Court and which has been fixed for continued Hearing next month. Employer very upset although as he has taken too good care of workers like providing the extra perks and even a co-driver this particular employee has filed this unwarranted case.

So far case going on fine for employer and our instructions is to defeat the claim of the lorry driver.
