In 1990, the then Ministry of Labour launched its guidelines on part-time employment after much discussion with the Tripartite members. During that time as there was a shortage of manpower, the government urged many housewives to return to work, even as part-timers. Back to work programmes were launched as well. With smooth implementation of the guidelines into the Employment Act as the Employment (Part Time Employees) Regulations 1996, the act came into effect from 1 October 1996. This one day workshop aims to equip the HR practitioner or Head of Department, the method to implement and calculate pro-rated benefits for part-time employees.
