Employment & Labour Claims
“Protecting Workplace Rights, Executive Contracts & Industrial Harmony”
Overview & Legal Representation
Employment relationships are strictly regulated under Malaysian labour laws, including the Employment Act 1955 (amended 2022) and the Industrial Relations Act 1967 (IRA 1967). When disputes arise between employers and employees, swift legal advice is critical due to strict statutory limitation windows.
Messrs. Low Wah Chin & Co. represents both corporate employers seeking compliance and employees seeking redress for unjust termination. We provide end-to-end counsel for Section 20 Industrial Relations Act representations regarding dismissal without just cause or excuse, constructive dismissal, retrenchment irregularities, and breach of executive employment covenants.
For corporate clients, we draft bespoke employment contracts, non-disclosure agreements (NDA), non-compete clauses, employee handbooks, and manage Domestic Inquiry (DI) procedures to ensure compliance with the Code of Conduct for Industrial Harmony.
