5. 人力资源部长在6月宣布，《1955年劳工法令》的修正案将于2022年9月1日开始生效。
6. 然而，截至2022年8月7日，由于生效日期未在公报上公布，该法尚未生效。
- 生效是指该法或次级立法具有法律效力。
The effective date of the Amendment Act has not yet been gazetted, despite the Minister of Human Resources declaring earlier that it will be implemented on September 1, 2022, much to the dismay of business people.
After all, the Amendment Act affects diverse facets, and companies want adequate time to prepare. For instance, the reduction of the working hour per week from 48 to 45 hours will create difficulties for manufacturing companies.
The amendments to the Employment Act 1955, on the other hand, left several areas to be clarified by the Minister of Human Resources, such as:
- Is the salary of RM2,000 and the identification of manual workers threshold the same?
- Are the rights that traditionally accrue to female workers in the workplace still available? That is to say; they are all covered regardless of salary.
- Does the definition of sexual harassment still apply to all employees, regardless of whether they are male or female and regardless of their salary, as it did in the past?
According to statements made by the Ministry of Human Resources to the media, the primary objective of the Employment (Amendment) Act 2021 is to broaden the scope of its application of the Employment Act 1955 (Act 265) so that it covers all employees, irrespective of their level of pay.
If what he said is accurate, the Minister of Human Resources will need to make subsequent amendments to the First Schedule of the Employment Act 1955 to comply with the powers conferred on the enactment of the directive by section 2(2) of Act 265.
Regrettably, there is still nothing to follow, and as a result, we are required to continue waiting.
人力资源部长虽然早前宣布了，修订法将会在2022年9月1日落实，然后令商家们大为暗懊恼的是，时至今日，生效日期并未在宪报上颁布。
毕竟，修订法涉及的层面相当的广泛，商家们是需要时间去做准备的。比如，将一周工作时间从48小时改成45小时，这会对制造商们带来困扰。
另一方面，1955年劳工法令在这一次的修订后，还遗留了一些待人力资源部长厘清的地方，如：
- 修订后，究竟是不是针对全部员工？RM2,000 的薪金以及体力劳动者的鉴定门槛，是否照旧？
- 职场女性员工的福利，是否依旧？即：无论他们的薪水多少，都在涵盖范围内。
- 性骚扰是否还像之前那样，涵盖所有员工，无论他们的薪水多少，无论男还是女性员工。
人力资源部也曾经向媒体表示，2021年就业 (修正）法令的主要修正范围是将1955年劳工法令（第265号法）的适用范围扩大到所有的雇员，无论其工资收入如何。如果这属实，人力资源部长需要根据第265号法案第2(2)款所授予颁布的指令的权利，对1955年劳工法令的第一附表进行后续修订。
遗憾的是，截至目前为止，依然无下文，我们只能继续等待。因为我们的政府一直都把商家视为拥有超能力的人。
