Aircraft maintenance company fined RM66k for late salary payment

 


Aircraft maintenance, repair, and overhaul company Airod Sdn Bhd was fined RM66,000 by the Magistrate’s Court today after it pled guilty to 44 charges on failure to abide by the time period for paying workers’ salaries.

The company, as the Person Being Summoned (OKS), was represented by National Aerospace & Defence Industries Bhd (Nadi) group president Abdul Rahim Abdul Rahman.

Airod was charged with failing to observe the period for paying salaries for 11 workers of the company for March, April, May, and June this year.

The offences were committed by the OKS at the Nadi building along Jalan Lapangan Terbang Subang, Subang, Selangor on Sept 5 this year, under Section 19(1) of the Employment Act 1955.

The OKS is liable to be punished under Section 99A of the same Act, which provides for a fine of up to RM10,000.

The court imposed a RM1,500 fine for each charge, bringing the total fine to RM66,000. The OKS paid the fine.

Before imposing the sentence, Magistrate Muhammad Syafiq Sulaiman advised the OKS not to repeat the offence.

In mitigation, Abdul Rahim said the company settled the salary arrears, adding that it was also affected by the Covid-19 pandemic before this.
