Boss selalu suruh OT tapi tak bayar claim, aku sungkan nak refuse. Normal ke ni?

Setiap minggu boss suruh stay lewat siapkan kerja tapi tak ada OT claim, company cakap staff kategori tak layak OT. Aku penat dan mula rasa exploited. Ini normal kat Malaysia ke? Patut aku push back?

Bawah Employment Act (yang dah luaskan cover semua pekerja tak kira gaji sejak pindaan terkini untuk banyak provision), pekerja yang layak berhak dapat bayaran kerja lebih masa. Tapi ada kategori pengurusan/eksekutif tertentu yang OT tak apply cara sama. Check kontrak dan status kau. Kalau kau memang layak OT, company tak boleh main tolak. Yang normal di Malaysia (walaupun tak sihat) memang budaya OT tak berbayar, tapi normal tak bermakna betul. Cara handle: (1) Mula document jam kerja lebih kau, simpan rekod. (2) Cakap dengan boss secara profesional, tanya pasal polisi OT dan beban kerja, mungkin masalah resource bukan kau lambat. (3) Kalau consistent exploited dan kau layak, kau boleh rujuk JTKSM. (4) Realistically, kalau tempat ni toxic, mula cari tempat lain. Kesihatan dan masa kau ada nilai. Jangan biar guilt tahan kau kena perah.

Set boundary halus dulu sebelum drastik. Contoh mula balik on time beberapa hari, siapkan kerja penting je dalam waktu office. Kalau kerja tak habis, itu masalah resource company, bukan kau. Kalau boss reasonable dia faham. Kalau dia marah kau balik ikut masa, itu tanda tempat toxic.

Sadly memang common kat Malaysia, especially SME. Aku dulu OT tiap hari tak bayar, burnout, akhirnya berhenti. Bila aku kira nilai jam aku sebenar (gaji bahagi jam sebenar termasuk OT), aku sedar aku underpaid teruk. Guilt tu jangan biar tahan, boss tak rasa guilt perah kau pun.
