Retaining S Pass Worker

Question

Dear HR Professionals,

Would like to know, if organization don't have enough quota to support S Pass for renewal what are the possible ways to retain S Pass workers.

Can downgrade to work permit? Nationality is Bangladeshi holding diploma holder.

Any suggestion?

Thanks.

Can downgrade him as WP but you need to get approval from him as some does not want to downgrade.

Work permit conditions are more stringent than S Pass, especially for non-traditional source countries (such as Bangladesh). If rejected, you may appeal and provide very good reasons (such as special skills) for this applicant.

It is best to call up MOM and check.

Can upgrade existing Malaysian S pass degree holders with “good salary” to EP and downgrade some to Work Permits so that you can have more S pass for those non-traditional source specialists. If you can, please support locals true blues and SPR candidates on priority, as also advised by MOM.
