What decides your pay
- Malaysia has a national minimum wage, reviewed every few years. Check the current amount before you sign.
- Overtime, rest-day and public-holiday work are paid at higher rates, and often make a big part of monthly income.
- The foreign worker levy is the employer's cost. It should not be cut from your salary.
Before you go
- Malaysia is covered by Nepal's "free visa, free ticket" policy. Check current rules and the maximum agency fee with the Department of Foreign Employment.
- Make sure the company name, job and salary in your contract match your visa.
Your passport
Under Malaysian law, employers are not allowed to hold workers' passports. If your passport is taken, or wages are unpaid, contact the Embassy of Nepal in Kuala Lumpur.
