Hilang Kerja - boleh dapat 50% gaji untuk 6 bulan...

Di Thailand, jika hilang kerja, seseorang pekerja akan menerima daripada pihak PERKESO (SOCSO) 50 % gajinya (tetapi tidak melebihi RM1,500) untuk jangkamasa 6 bulan (atau 180 hari)

Jika pekerja itu letak jawatan pun, beliau berhak menerima 30% gajinya...

Kita harus adakan undang-undang sedemikian di Malaysia - yang akan membantu gulungan pekerja dan keluarga/tanggungan mereka.
