Pay rises and increments next year are likely to be smaller because of the global economic downturn, according to the Malaysian Employers Federation (

Pay rises and increments next year are likely to be smaller because of the global economic downturn, according to the Malaysian Employers Federation (MEF).

Executives can only expect a 5.53 per cent average increase in salaries and non-executives 5.59 per cent, according to an MEF survey of 202 companies.

An earlier forecast, which did not take into account the latest economic environment, had anticipated a 5.78 per cent increase for executives, MEF president Datuk Azman Shah Haron said yesterday.

Industries that had forecast high executive salary increases were those in machinery manufacturing, pharmaceutical, medical or textile products, and logistics, port, warehouse and transport services.

The salary increase for non-executives was forecast at 5.59 per cent compared with an earlier estimate of 5.85 per cent.


“The forecast was reduced slightly in light of the global economic downturn.

“Generally, employers need to retain talent and would cut other costs during the slowdown unless they have no choice. Retrenchment would be the last option,” Azman said at a media briefing.

The salary increase for this year was 6.09 per cent for executives and 5.69 per cent for non-executives.

About 71 per cent of the companies surveyed said they expected to give bonuses to their executives next year.

The forecast average bonus for executives, after taking into account the tougher economic conditions, was 1.98 months compared with an earlier forecast of 2.1 months.

Non-executives, on average, can expect 1.78 months’ bonus, lower than the earlier estimate of 1.99 months.

The average bonus payments this year were 2.25 months for executives and 2.05 months for non-executives.

The survey, completed in August, covered 15,163 executives and 43,499 non-executives.

According to the federation, Malaysian employees in the private sector took an average of 4.2 days of medical leave last year, which is higher than the average in other countries.

In the United Kingdom, for example, the average was just 0.9 days.

"Malaysians are well known for that. They will try to take all their entitlement. Imagine the costs that companies have to bear,” MEF executive director Shamsuddin Bardan said.

The federation estimates it could cost employers RM2.7 billion a year for employees’ outpatient treatment.

The MEF survey revealed that, on average, 3.95 days of sick leave (with no hospitalisation) were taken per employee in all industries last year.

Shamsuddin said an estimated 19.18 million days of sick leave were taken last year.

[23.1] Sesungguhnya berjayalah orang-orang yang beriman,
[23.2] Iaitu mereka yang khusyuk dalam sembahyangnya;
[23.3] Dan mereka yang menjauhkan diri dari perbuatan dan perkataan yang sia-sia;
[23.4] Dan mereka yang berusaha membersihkan hartanya (dengan menunaikan zakat harta itu);
[23.5] Dan mereka yang menjaga kemaluannya, -
[23.6] Kecuali kepada isterinya atau hamba sahayanya maka sesungguhnya mereka tidak tercela: -
[23.7] Kemudian, sesiapa yang mengingini selain dari yang demikian, maka merekalah orang-orang yang melampaui batas;
[23.8] Dan mereka yang menjaga amanah dan janjinya;
[23.9] Dan mereka yang tetap memelihara sembahyangnya;
[23.10] Mereka itulah orang-orang yang berhak mewarisi (syurga).
