The Malaysian Palm Oil Association (MPOA) is pleased to invite plantation industry professionals to participate in a two-day seminar focusing on the latest amendments to the Sabah Labour Ordinance, which came into effect on 1 May 2025.

This seminar is designed to provide practical guidance on applying the amended legislation in day-to-day estate and mill operations. Participants will gain valuable insights into employment contracts, working hours, wages, leave entitlements, Ordinary Rate of Pay (ORP), minimum wage compliance, and other statutory requirements affecting employers in Sabah.
