Abstract

Film workers in Malaysia were having problems of not getting paid, partially paid or payments delayed by the employers. This research is to investigate the causes of payment issues in Malaysian film industry; to examine the effects of the problems to the film workers; and to provide solutions to the problems. A study was undertaken by interviewing a number of film workers in Malaysian film industry. The findings show that the major causes of payment issues are low clarity in contract employment, poor payment procedure, low understanding of film workers regarding employment contract, ineffectiveness of the film workers associations and insufficient cash flow by employers.
