Details

This book features the history of industrial relations in Malaysia, highlighting aspects such as trade unions, migrant workers and early legislative responses to such issues. The author presents rights-based labour jurisprudence in a practical manner, emphasising current issues such as obligations and the employer-employee relationship, changes in the way people work and how these have initiated a transformation in the judicial approach towards a worker's legal status and rights.

The scope of employment protection or statutory rights and obligations; fundamental aspects of employment law such as termination of employment, unfair dismissal and constructive dismissal are comprehensively considered and discussed clearly in a succinct manner. Designed to present a complete picture of the state of Employment Law in Malaysia today, it effectively provides an excellent historical and evolutional background in a perfect combination of topics related to the current landscape especially in Malaysia.
