Ms. Leong’s statement –

“Saya sebagai penjual tiket di Super Five Star Agency bermula pada April 2006 yang bertapak di Taman Sri Putri. Setahu saya, majikan ini mempunyai dua cawangan di Taman Sri Putri dan Taman Ungku Tun Aminah masing-masing ialah Yuli Agency dan Sin Yong Express Agency. Saya sebagai pekerja tetap di Taman Sri Putri.

Disebabkan Super Five Star Agency dan Yuli Agency bertapak di Taman Sri Putri, saya sentiasa disuruh untuk bekerja ganti jika mana-mana agency itu kekurangan kakitangan. Saya sentiasa ikut seperti mana yang disuruh oleh majikan saya.

Pada 2/10/2007, lebih kurang pukul 9.30pm, saya seperti biasa disuruh untuk ganti bekerja di Yuli Agency. Bila saya sampai ke Yuli Agency, seorang rakan pekerja suruh saya balik semula ke Super Five Star Agency. Saya pun ikut apa yang disuruh olehnya. Semasa balik ke Super Five Star Agency, saya dimarah oleh Boss saya dalam telefon dan suruh saya supaya berhenti kerja serta-merta. Saya berasa sangat hairan ke atas tindakan majikan terhadap saya.

Gaji bulanan saya ialah RM700 dan RM50 sebagai alaun. Gaji dibayar setiap setengah bulan. Pada hari itu, saya diberhenti tanpa notis hentian kerja. Saya disuruh untuk ambil gaji dua hari kemudian iaitu 5 october. Gaji yang dibayar kepada saya adalah gaji bulan lepas iaitu 15 Setember hingga 30 September sahaja. Oleh sebab saya dibehenti pada 2 Octorber, gaji yang sepatut dibayar sekurang-kurangnya hingga ke 2 October. Selain itu, saya masih mempunyai 5 hari annual leave.

Oleh sebab itu, saya meminta supaya majikan menjelaskan statut saya sekarang. Selain itu majikan patut bayar wang pampasan dan gaji yang sepatut dan munasabah kepada saya.”
