The Employees’ Provident Fund (EPF) is part of compulsory deductions in our monthly wages, and employees should report to the relevant department if their employers are not paying the monthly deductions.

A popular local dessert chain recently landed itself under fire when one of its employees “spilled some teas” about the EPF payment which has allegedly been delayed for months. According to a TikTok post by @penuntutkeadilan, the dessert chain has made around RM150 million in profit throughout its 3 years of operation.

However, since the beginning of 2023, the management has allegedly stopped paying the employees’ EPF, despite having shown the deductions in their payslips.

When the employees check on their EPF account, no payments have been transferred into their account so far.

“They paid our EPF for a month or two, then they stopped again. It’s the end of the year, where is our money?!”

According to the anonymous post, he is not the only one who is suffering from the missing payment, and the management issues regarding EPF payment only arose this year.

Not only that but the employees allegedly received their salary as late as the 7th day of every month, despite the cut-off day for the salary being on the 23rd of every month. Anyone who commented on the brand’s IG page about the missing EPF payment, they were allegedly blocked from accessing the page.

At the end of the anonymous letter, the man reminds the management to take care of the welfare of the employees, which he believes will help the business too.
