MALAYSIAN LABOUR LAW WEB-SITE

This web-site was developed and run by a retired civil servant who has been working with the Labour Department for a long time.. The main purpose of this web-site is to provide information on Malaysian Labour Laws that might be useful to the readers. Through this web-site, both employers and employees may be able to obtain detailed information about their rights and obligations under the laws. Others readers including potential foreign investors will be able to gain some insights about Malaysian labour laws and what the labour laws will have in store for them when they come to invest in this country.

There are a number of labour laws in Malaysia and this web-site gives its particular attention to three major ones such as the Employment Act 1955, Industrial Relations Act 1967 and Trade Unions Act 1959. The Employment Act provides minimum terms and coditions (mostly of monetary value) to certain category of workers, the Industrial Relations Act provides ways for settlement of trade disputes between employers and employees whereas the Trade Unions Act regulates trade union registration and the uses of trade union funds. These Acts are quite complex and your host hopes that visitors to this web-site will take time to go through them. They can be interesting if you are interested. This web-site does not teach, you read the laws yourself.  However, should you have any queries, feel free to contact and your host will be glad to share his experience with you.
