Company make me OT until late but no OT pay, is this legal?

Actually the law changed and more people are covered now. Under the Employment Act (after the 2023 amendment), ALL employees are covered by the Act, but the OT and overtime provisions specifically apply to those earning RM4000 and below monthly wages. Since your basic is RM3800, you may actually be entitled to OT pay for work beyond normal hours, at 1.5x rate on normal days. Many companies still tell staff "executive no OT" but that is not automatically true if you are below the wage threshold. Check with the Labour Department (Jabatan Tenaga Kerja) or file an inquiry, it is free. Keep records of your working hours as proof. Dont just accept what HR says, they are hoping you dont know your rights.
