#layoffs

Management is attempting to balance cash flow so that salaries will not be affected during Covid-19, says source.

CORONAVIRUS | Employees in the RM4,000 to RM8,000 category are not covered by the wage subsidy scheme, and they risk being laid off.

The Human Resources Minister says MAS has instead offered its employees the option of taking three months no-pay leave.

Its executive director says retrenching workers will ultimately incur a higher cost than preventing the layoff.
