Public Holidays

Employees are entitled to a paid holiday at the ordinary rate of pay on 11 of the gazetted public holidays and on any day designated as a public holiday under the Holidays Act 1951.

The Employment Act provides that five of those 11 gazetted public holidays must be:

  • National Day
  • The Birthday of Yang di-Pertuan Agong
  • Birthday of the Ruler, the Yang di-Pertua Negeri, or Federal Territory Day
  • Labour Day
  • Malaysia Day

The Employment Act also provides that, if any of the public holidays falls on a rest day or another public holiday, the working day following immediately the rest day or the other public holiday shall be a paid holiday.

It is normal market practice for all employees to be granted paid holidays on all the National and state-level public holidays.
