Malaysian ramen chain allegedly makes employees pay RM500 fine for using the washroom during peak periods
Workers also have to pay penalties for using their mobile phones and taking sick leave; Minister says this system would be violating the law
IT IS understandable that employers expect their employees to be at their best at work. However, a ramen chain in Kuala Lumpur is said to have implemented an extreme punishment system to keep their employees in line.
A netizen
shared on Facebook on 18 February a list of guidelines that employees at the F&B outlet allegedly have to follow and the corresponding “fines” for each offence they commit.
For example, employees have to pay RM200 for using their mobile phones during working hours or breaking a bowl. They also have to hand over RM500 if they use the toilet when the outlet is busy.
Other penalties include paying RM100 if they take medical leave and RM500 if they inform their supervisor less than two hours before they are supposed to start work.
