8.2.5 : Employment practice equivalent rights outsourcing
Policy on Equality in Service
UTM formalizes a strong Employment practice equivalent rights outsourcing policy through its Policy on Equality in Service (Polisi Kesamarataan Dalam Perkhidmatan), which applies to all personnel connected with the university, ensuring consistent standards across all employment types.
The policy is established to be a guideline for UTM to remain committed to managing and implementing equality in all services, making it a foundation for guaranteeing equivalent rights. Crucially, the policy's scope is comprehensive, applying to:
- Individuals/applicants receiving service at UTM.
- All UTM staff under permanent, contract, temporary, and part-time positions.
- Appointed Committee Members.
Although the document does not explicitly use the term "outsourcing," its broad application to all individuals receiving services at UTM and its commitment to applying equality principles to salary, recruitment, performance management, and working hours effectively establishes a framework that extends core employment rights universally. This policy aims to ensure that the implementation of services, systems, and processes do not hinder staff from various backgrounds from obtaining equality and opportunities within UTM. The commitment is enforced through internal and governance audits that periodically review processes to ensure compliance with the policy
