Replacement Leave

What is a replacement leave in Malaysia?

A replacement leave, commonly known as time off in lieu, is when companies offer staff the opportunity to take a day off in exchange for working weekends or public holidays instead of paying overtime for eligible employees.

What about employees who are not eligible for overtime pay?

Employees who don’t qualify for overtime pay can still benefit from replacement leave days. While there is no legal requirement to do so, employers often provide this extra time off as an alternative reward.

Is replacement leave only for employees working on public holidays?

Time-off-in lieu is not solely restricted to public holidays but can also be accrued through the working of additional hours on working days or when employees attend work-related training on weekends and after regular office hours.
