“This work promises to fill the vacuum in labour law literature and commentary that has long existed in this country [and] is indispensable to a wide audience. … The information this work contains is sufficient and up to date.”
From the Foreword by Gopal Sri Ram
The livelihood of most Malaysians is secured through employment and crucially, employment has now been established as a fundamental right within the expression of “life”. Despite this, while government employees are generally assured of security of tenure, employees in the private sector are often left at the mercy of the employer with their terms and conditions of employment very much dictated by the employer. The law has developed and legislative activity has progressively accorded greater protection to employees.
Employment law is an important area of law which applies to a wide spectrum of society. In view of the changes and development of employment law in Malaysia, there is a keen need to have a comprehensive guide to the law and practice of employment law in Malaysia prepared by practitioners in this area of the law. Law and Practice of Employment Law in Malaysia contains the collective knowledge and experience of a team of leading employment law specialists. It has been prepared with court lawyers in mind, specifically those with the challenging task of bringing their clients’ cases to court, be they an employee or an employer.
The book is comprehensive in its coverage, including the fundamentals of contracts of employment, the conduct of domestic inquiry, various grounds for termination, unfair labour practice, sexual harassment, proceedings at the Industrial Court, judicial review and appeal, social security, trade unions and the recognition thereof as well as industrial action. Two detailed chapters are devoted to the conduct of proceedings at the Industrial Court which is the primary forum at which employment disputes are litigated. Other obligations under employment law such as complaints, inquiries and offences under the Employment Act 1955, employees provident fund, employment insurance scheme, and the employment of foreign employees are also given due coverage.
The content of the book is practical, instructive and full of insightful analysis of statutory provisions and case law. The amendments brought in by the Industrial Relations (Amendment) Act 2020 have been carefully considered. The best practices provided to avoid employment law issues and to handle them when they arise certainly add further edge to the usefulness of the book.
This is a book which should not be missed by employment lawyers, judges, in-house counsel, human resource practitioners, trade unions and business owners.

The importance of job security in the form continuity in employment in an organisation up to the normal retirement age applies to the general working population. Unfortunately, job loss justified by the economic and business needs is an inevitable and painful consequences of a corporate restructuring or reorganisation process. Downsizing can happen when the business no longer requires the same number of employees it used to because the functions of the employee have either ceased or diminished to a significant extent.

This book explains the framework and principles of private international law that govern cross-border employment disputes. The book is aimed at readers handling disputes ranging from cross-border team moves and commercial litigation with international employment aspects through to international statutory employment claims.
Commercial employment disputes do not respect national boundaries. Employees are mobile, and businesses are multi-national. An employee working in one country may be subject to restrictions governed by the law of another country entirely. An investment bank may recruit from outside the domestic market and may in turn be the subject of recruitment from competitors in other jurisdictions. By what standard is the lawfulness or otherwise of a global recruitment exercise to be judged? An employee in one country may misuse his employer’s confidential information in country. How and where should the employer obtain injunctive relief? Which Court or Courts have jurisdiction over such cross-border disputes? How will the rules be impacted by Brexit?
The book aims to address all of these and other related questions. It provides the reader with a careful and practical analysis of the issues that present themselves to the profession with scholarly advice on how best to deal and avoid such situations. It is as much a tool of best practice for employers as it is an integral reference for lawyers.
