Most employees don't know the difference between JTK and JPP.
And that mistake can cost them their case.
In Malaysia, JTK (Jabatan Tenaga Kerja) and JPP (Jabatan Perhubungan Perusahaan) serve very different purposes:
JTK (Labour Department) handles money-related claims: unpaid wages, overtime disputes, maternity allowance, and more. It operates under the Employment Act 1955.
JPP (Industrial Relations Department) handles dismissal and industrial disputes: unfair termination, retrenchment, and union-related issues. It operates under the Industrial Relations Act 1967.
Filing in the wrong department not only wastes time but can also disqualify your claim entirely.
Knowing the difference isn't just useful, it's essential for protecting your rights at work.
