Retrenchment Law and Practice in Malaysia

CCH’s Retrenchment Law and Procedure in Malaysia is especially valuable to you in that it not only covers the legal requirements of a retrenchment procedure, but also shows you how to minimise the dangerous risks engendered by rumours, loss of morale, and damage to your company’s reputation.

The publication of this book is timely because, in the current economic climate, retrenchment is likely to become a familiar phenomenon in the employment scene. Clearly, any retrenchment exercise will have a big impact on employees, but if managed well these negative outcomes will be minimised. This book is of great value to employers in that it not only provides a better understanding as to what are the valid or invalid reasons for redundancies, and how the courts go about determining if the reasons put forth by employers are valid or not, but also offers effective measures to minimise the deleterious ‘side effects’ of any retrenchment.

Features:

• The valid reason(s) as specified by law for the redundancy;
• How to ensure that the procedure for the retrenchment exercise complies with legislative requirements;
• Information that must be provided in writing to employees;
• When and how to release information;
• Selection process and guidelines;
• How to ensure compliance with any collective bargaining agreement;
