KUALA LUMPUR, March 10 -- Japan-based DIP Corporation (DIP) has started offering relief compensation to those who are unable to work due to a coronavirus related illness.
According to a statement by the company, the amount of compensation is equivalent to the salary for one half month, up to a maximum of 100,000 yen. (100 yen = RM4.09)
Those eligible are part-time and contracted workers (part-time, dispatched, contracted and outsourcing, excluding regular employees) employed via the Baitoru, Baitoru NEXT or Hatarako.net websites between March 1, 2017 and now.
DIP president and chief executive officer, Hideki Tomita said: “Realising that many of our users are part-time or contracted employees, I understand full well that they do not enjoy the benefits of paid absence or leave allowance that protect regular employees.
“As distasteful as it is, we must recognise the possibility that some of these users may contract a coronavirus related illness and face serious financial pressures resulting from a loss of income.
“Furthermore, we have begun to offer free job postings on our recruiting sites for clients in urgent need of short-term replacements for their current employees who are required to stay home with children due to the cancellation of all public-school classes and activities.”
