Abstract:
Malaysia's legal framework for employment is crucial in establishing fair workplace practices and protecting employee rights. The Employment Act 1955 serves as the cornerstone of this framework, outlining minimum standards for wages, working hours, and leave entitlements. It ensures that employees are treated equitably and provides mechanisms for addressing grievances, thereby fostering a stable employer-employee relationship. Additionally, the Industrial Relations Act 1967 facilitates dispute resolution and governs trade unions, further enhancing workplace harmony. Understanding these laws is essential for organizations to navigate compliance, mitigate legal risks, and promote a positive work environment that benefits both employers and employees.
