Annual Home Passage

Today I sent an email to one HR manager in my company which responsible for staff benefit regarding above title.

Dear En. XY,

I would like to get official response on the enquiry about Annual Home Passage (AHP) for both husband and wife working at Sarawak, Sabah & Labuan. The enquiry raised during the presentation of the new employee terms was whether we could get two AHP instead of one which being practiced currently. If I’m not mistaken, En. AB response during the session was he will resolve this issue separately.

With some of the executive staff get additional AHP, it seems unfair to married couple who both of them working in the same company has to sacrifice their AHP benefit just because they’re married. Even in the executive handbook do not mentioned that eligible staff who married each other will lost one of their AHP. The clause in the execute handbook is every eligible executive being posted away from his/her hometown is eligible for annual home leave passage.

I would appreciate yr advise on this enquiry.

This is his "safe" replied..

Dear En Ahmad Fadzli,

I will respond to you once I received the feedback from HR Centre on your query for eligibility for both husband & wife working in the same company to get AHLP. Based on current practiced, you will get only one AHLP & you will need to choose either to follow your hometown or your wife’s hometown.

But for Additional Home Passage entitlement (on top of the AHLP), it is for EI staff who has been appointed or transferred from West M’sia to East M’sia or vice versa shall be eligible to the following additional home passage :

Married Executive on Single status:
2 actual door-to-door traveling expenses for executive to and from his hometown
Single Executive:
1 actual door-to-door traveling expenses for the Executive to and from his hometown

The executive shall be exempted from the minimum period of 7 calendar days annual leave entitlement to qualify for the above additional home Passage. However, he/she shall be required to seek approval from his superior prior to utilization of this benefit. The application process for this is the same as when you apply the Annual Home Leave Passage.

Trust your understanding on the above clarification plse.

Thanks & Best Regards

Mr. XY
