致各位同业们，

为了避免雇主在聘请外劳面对非法中介的问题，本商会在此呼吁业者在聘请劳工时，谨慎选择中介代理，确保所委任的中介代理拥有政府所批准的执照。

在2017年私人就业机构（修正）法令下，私人就业机构可申请A 、B 及C 级执照。在A 级执照下，APS 只能处理本地工人的招聘事务；B 级执照则可处理国内外劳在大马的招聘以及外劳在大马工作的招聘事务；在C 级执照下，APS 可处理国内外劳在本地及外国的招聘服务。本商会促有意聘请外劳或移民劳工的公司按上述不同级别，寻求适当的APS协助。

以下为拥有政府批准执照的公司，欲知更多详情可浏览http://jtksm.mohr.gov.my/ms/88-orang-awam

事项 1 ：2019年修订的1990员工房屋，住宿和设施基本标准（446法令）

根据人力资源部与2020年5月的宣布， 2019年修订的1990员工房屋，住宿和设施基本标准（446法令），将会在2020年6月1日生效，并在2020年9月1日正式执法。上述的法令将扩大到各个行业的员工宿舍。雇主必须根据2018年外劳宿舍指南为最低标准建立员工宿舍。
 
本商会于此呼吁会员们多加注意以上事项，并逐步提升外劳宿舍标准，以避免被执法单位取缔。本商会也刚接获人力局发出有关上述法令的条例, 包括雇主可征收住宿租金金额P.U.(A)249 (请参阅附件1) 与及向人力局申请员工房屋，住宿和设施基本标准认证书的手续费- P.U.(A)248（请参阅附件2），请会员们留意。以上的相关文件重点翻译为中文供会员们作参考。所有的条例将依据人力局发出的原文（请参阅Lampiran 1 & 2 ）。
 
至于申请员工房屋，住宿和设施基本标准认证书，会员们可到人力局官方网站 akta446.mohr.gov.my 进行申请。
 
有关有关2018年外劳宿舍指南及中文翻译版，会员们可参阅附件。
 
免责声明：外劳宿舍指南资料取自于麻坡人力局。本商会是依据 GARIS PANDUAN PENETAPAN STANDARD MINIMUM PENGINAPAN PEKERJA ASING 2018 （LAMPIRAN）的资料重点进行中文翻译供会员进行参考。资料的准确性将以国文原版为标准。
 
 
事项2：人力局进行2020年度员工相关资料审核

麻坡人力据官员表示由于复苏式行动管制令的缘故，所以官员们无法到各大家具厂与人力资源部职员接洽并进行员工资料相关事项的更新与审核。因此，麻坡人力局希望通过本商会将员工资料更新表格（请参阅Lampiran 3 ：BORANG MAKLUMAT PENGAJIAN PEKERJA）发布给会员进行填写。 希望会员们能将相关资料填妥后，于2020年9月10日前电邮至ramnath@mohr.gov.my
 
有关以上事项的任何疑问，会员们也可直接致电致麻坡人力局向负责官员询问。
负责官员：En. Ramnath / En Sharol
联系号码：06-9511672 / 069520625
 
谢谢！
