Faking Tests To Get Out Of Work

Enterprise Explores ·

2022/03/18

According to the Star, some unscrupulous workers are faking their Covid-19 test results to stay away from work. Employers too believed that the possibility for abuse is there, as the current Covid-19 reporting system doesn’t require medical certificates from a physician. We speak to HR expert Deepa George about how employers can monitor, mitigate - or worst case - manage this issue, and if the underlying problem here stems from toxic work cultures.Image Credit: Shutterstock | Michele UrsiSee

2022/03/14

As more sectors opened up in Q4 of 2021, just in time for holiday shopping, the Malaysian retail scene saw a significant boost in income and consumer traffic nationwide. But despite all the rush and eagerness to get back to some sense of normalcy, the retail industry still shrank by 2.3% last year.

2022/03/03

While gig workers and freelancers continue to play an integral part in the economy, they have yet to enjoy all the perks and benefits that come with being a formal employee of a company - particularly insurance coverage. This could change soon as the federal government tables a landmark amendment Bill that could permanently compel gig-based tech companies to provide their workers with the same rights and privileges as formal employees.Image Credit: Shutterstock | Lens HitamSee
