INTRODUCTION:
Termination is
known as capital punishment in Industrial Law. Employers must understand and be
able to apply the law on Termination of Employment as consequences of wrongful
termination can be disastrous to an establishment. Recent Court Awards have been
very damaging especially on the quantum of compensation going to Ringgit
Malaysia hundreds of thousand.
Anyone who is a
workman may bring an action in the Industrial Court. Currently as it stands,
there is no ceiling in the salary of a workman limiting his action in the
Industrial Court. Therefore, virtually most workers are eligible to seek legal
redress in the Industrial Court. If he/ she thinks that it is a wrongful
termination/ dismissal. Employers must avoid failing into this Litigation and
Landmines.
Employers have
termination clauses in their contracts that wither party can terminate with one
month notice, is this applicable under the law? To what extent can it be relied
upon?

covenants and confidential clauses are they employers’ escape clauses? Are they
effective under the law? And many more.
Therefore this
is a MUST attend course for employers to act within the law on the
employer’s prerogative to terminate a staff.
The Industrial
Relation Act 1967 under which a workman may bring an action against the employer
is applicable to both East and West Malaysia.
