Digi Terms and Conditions of employment
Not many companies willing to share their Terms of Employment to the whole world. But Digi Malaysia has thought differently when we talk about the T&C.
I believe unlike other companies Digi got nothing to hide and of course very confident on their action.
We made it a point to share with you what we give and expect from our people. This is the actual document which our employees receive upon joining DiGi.
We believe in doing things simply and smartly. We believe in building diversity in all aspects of our employment, nad in treating all our employees fairly. We believe in encouraging top performance and high commitment and engagement from you. We obey all laws and regulations, both in letter and in spirit. We take our role as a productive and positive corporate citizen of Malaysia seriously. We expect you to believe and do the same.
You’ll work with DiGi under these terms and conditions:
Your Probationary Period
You’ll need to serve probation for 6 months, and complete it successfully in order to be confirmed and continue employment. If you don’t complete that period successfully (or an extension of up to 3 months if you are given one), you may be terminated from employment.
You’ll Need To Take and Pass a Medical Examination
You’ll need to do this before joining the Company. It’ll be at a clinic or hospital appointed and paid for by the Company.
How To Terminate Your Employment
You or the Company may terminate your employment at any point by giving one week’s notice (if you’re still under probation, including extension if any), or two months’ notice if you’ve been confirmed. Or you may pay the equivalent amount of salary in lieu of giving notice. You may also do a combination of both.
If you’re under a fixed term contract, your notice period after confirmation will be one month instead of two months.
Employee Provident Fund (EPF)
The Company’ll contribute to the EPF according to the EPF provisions currently in force. The Company’ll also make deductions from your applicable income.
Enhanced EPF Contributions (EEPF)
The Company’ll contribue an 3% of your basic monthly salary to the EPF like this:
You’ll be eligible for this immediately upon joining the Company
However, the contributions will be withheld until you complete three years of service with the Company or upon expiry of your employment contract
Then the amount withheld (including the dividend added to it in line with what the EPF declared during that period) shall be remitted to the EPF
From that point owards, the Enhanced EPF contributions shall be made every month direct to the EPF
(Note: If you leave the Company for whatever reason within that 3 year period or before the expiry of your employment contract, you’ll forfeit the amount, including dividend withheld)
Social Security (SOCSO)
the Company’ll contribute to SOCSO in accordance with the SOCSO provisions. The Company’ll also make deductions from your applicable income. Even if you are not required to contribute SOCSO, you may choose to do, but according to SOCSO rules,”once in always in”.
Taxes
You’ll be responsible for any personal income taxes which may be payable, and any other dues and levies payable in relation to the performance of this Contract. DiGi reserves the right to deduct from your salary for the amount due to you in compliance with the requirement of the Malaysian Inland Revenue Department.
