KLANG: The Human Resources Ministry is formulating guidelines for employers who hire students and civil servants on a part-time basis.

Human Resources Minister Datuk Dr S. Subramaniam said Social Security Organisation (Socso) and Employees Provident Fund (EPF) contributions for these part-time workers would be included in the guidelines.

According to Dr Subramaniam the government had announced about a month ago that university students and civil servants could acquire part-time employment provided they received permission to do so by their departments and institutions.

He said his ministry had also set-up a unit under its Labour Department to look into formulating the guidelines as well as other necessary provisions for part-timers.

“There are various forms of part-time workers and the ministry will study this thoroughly and come up with very clear guidelines for employers and employees,” he told reporters after launching a Work Ethics Seminar organised by his ministry for the Indian community in Kapar near here.
