Wage Subsidy Programme 4.0 (PSU 4.0)
Employers Receive RM600 Wage Subsidy per Employee

As a smart employer, you must be well-informed about the government pandemic alleviation plan – National People’s Well-Being and Economic Recovery Package (PEMULIH). What’s next is the Wage Subsidy Programme  (PSU) extension to Wage Subsidy Programme  4.0 (PSU 4.0). 

Aye, it costs a big chunk of money allocation worth RM3.8 billion, which will benefit some 242,000 employers and more than 2.5 million workers from all economic sectors.  Employers still receive a RM600 wage subsidy for every employee. 

Here comes the million-dollar question. How could you keep a piece of the pie?
