19.2 Annual Leave

a) The Company grants annual leave to all Employees to enable them to
have a break from their working environment.

b) Annual leave entitlement is calculated on a calendar year basis. For
the first year of service or during the year where employment is
terminated, annual leave shall be pro-rated to the number of
completed days of service, rounded to the nearest one day. Example,
any fraction of a day that is 0.49 or less, shall be treated as
0. Any fraction of a day that is 0.5 or more shall be treated as 1.0.

c) Application for annual leave should be submitted in accordance with
the Leave Application Procedure. An Employee shall not absent
himself from duty for the purpose of annual leave unless he has
obtained prior approval for his application.

d) Employees may be allowed to carry forward up to 10 days of their
current year’s leave entitlement to the following year up to 30 April
only. Any earned annual leave not utilised by the 30 April deadline
shall be forfeited accordingly except where the Employee has obtained
the Company’s written permission to extend the deadline.

e) If an Employee’s service is terminated due to misconduct or other
disciplinary actions, then he shall not be entitled to any annual leave
accrued up to the date of his termination. However, he shall be paid
his earned salary up to the date of termination.

f) The Company reserves the right to schedule certain days in each year
for shutdown in conjunction with festivals and public holidays and
Employees shall utilise their annual leave for this purpose.

g) An Employee may apply for half-day leave, either for the morning or
afternoon session. For those who are on 6 days week, annual leave
taken on a working Saturday shall be treated as one day leave.

except for exceptional circumstances such as:

(i) Attending to a sick family member
(ii) Emergency cases
(iii) Attending court cases / visiting Government offices, etc.

i) Application for annual leave shall be made at least four (4) working
