KUALA LUMPUR : Malaysia's ATA IMS Bhd said on Tuesday it had found instances of staff working excessive overtime and taken action against a manager who coached employees for a labour audit, after home appliance maker Dyson last month cut ties with the firm over labour practices.
Citing 11 employees, Reuters also reported that ATA had coached staff ahead of labour inspections to hide true working and living conditions, and employed foreigners without permits. It added that it had taken remedial measures to ensure this does not recur, and that it has begun implementing a policy of zero overtime on Sunday that resulted in the resignation of nearly 300 workers in the first week of December.
ATA on Nov. 29 said the independent audit had alleged poor living conditions, issues regarding zero-recruitment fees for foreign migrant workers, unethical recruitment practices by agents, use of irregular workers, concerns of retaliation and unpaid allowances.
