Guide On Starting Wages

 MESSAGE
M��is��� � H�m�� Res��r�e�

The 11th Malaysia Plan (11th MP) which would be implemented between
2016-2020 is the final paradigm shift that will drive Malaysia towards
attaining the status of a high income nation which is inclusive and
sustainable by the year 2020. In line with this, the availability of skilled
workers becomes an important element in generating, maintaining and
fulfilling the country’s requirements for growth towards a higher value
chain and activities that are capital intensive, technology and knowledge
based.

By the year 2020, it is projected that highly-skilled workers will make

up 35% of the country’s labour force. Under the 11th MP, 60% of the 1.5
million jobs that will be created would require qualifications relating to
Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET), making TVET an
important platform for increasing the skilled workforce. As such, the
Government has determined human capital development in the country
as one of the six strategic thrusts of the 11th MP, which among others, gives
primary focus towards efforts in transforming TVET in order to meet the
needs of the industries. In relation to this, the acceptance of Malaysian
Skills Certificate and Diploma graduates is an important factor in
ascertaining the effectiveness of TVET programmes in meeting the actual
demands and needs of the industry.

The publication of the Guide on Starting Wages for 160 Selected

Skills Based Jobs, First Edition (2016) by the Ministry of Human Resources
(MoHR) is an effort to support and strengthen TVET branding and profile, as
stipulated in the 11th MP. This publication is an initial effort by MoHR in
recommending the starting basic wages commensurating skills acquired
by the graduates with Malaysian Skills Certificate and Diploma. This Guide
lists the starting basic wages based on the minimum wages of RM1,000.00
commencing 1st July 2016.

i Guide On Starting Wages

 I urge all parties, especially employers, to be receptive of the
publication of this Guide, by adopting the recommended starting basic
wages or even offering higher starting basic wages to increase the
workers’ motivation and productivity.

Finally, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to all parties

involved in the successful publication, including members of the Wages
Guide Committee comprising representatives from various Government
Agencies as well as Public and Private Skills Training Institutions. Many
thanks to the industries and trade unions that have collaborated with
MoHR in the publication of the Guide on Starting Wages for 160 Selected
Skills Based Jobs, First Edition (2016).

Thank you.

 FOREWORD
Se��et��� G���r��
M��is��� � H�m�� Res��r�e�

The Ministry of Human Resources (MoHR) and the relevant Government

agencies together with industries play an important role in determining the
requirement of skilled workforce for the country in line with the
knowledge-based economy which is currently witnessing an increasing
demand for skilled workers in specific fields.

MoHR realised that the wages offered for skill-based jobs does not
commensurate with qualifications obtained. Realising the importance of
putting value to skills obtained by potential workers with Malaysian Skills
Certificates and Diplomas, MoHR has taken the initiative to publish this
Guide on Starting Wages for 160 Selected Skills Based Jobs, First Edition
(2016).

This Guide contains 160 job titles that are high in demand in the
market, together with the job descriptions, skills level and starting basic
wages. In addition, this Guide does not take into account factors such as
location and the size of the company, type of industry and company’s
financial capacity. This Guide also recommends that skills graduates who
hold licences or other competency certificates be paid higher.

Prior to the publication of this Guide, MoHR has conducted

engagements with relevant parties including Malaysian Employers
Federation (MEF), Malaysian Trades Union Congress (MTUC), Federation of
Malaysian Manufacturers (FMM), Malaysian International Chamber of
Commerce and Industry (MICCI), the Associated Chinese Chambers of
Commerce and Industry of Malaysia (ACCCIM) and the SME Association
of Malaysia.

iii Guide On Starting Wages

 Hopefully this Guide will be well-received by all parties especially
employers and potential workers in determining the starting basic wages
that commensurate with the level of skills attained.

I would like to express my appreciation to all parties involved,

either directly or indirectly in realising the publication of this Guide on
Starting Wages for 160 Selected Skills Based Jobs, First Edition (2016). My
highest appreciation and congratulations to the Publication Secretariat
on the successful publication of this Guide.

Thank you.

Dato’ Sri Adenan bin Ab Rahman
