PRACTICAL MALAYSIAN LABOUR LAWS

FOR NON-LEGAL HR MANAGERS, NON-HR MANAGERS & OPERATIONAL LINE MANAGERS

26 & 27 October 2017, (Thurs & Fri), 9.00 am to 5.00 pm, Hotel Istana Kuala Lumpur

SBL / HRDF Claimable

Certificate of attendance awarded for those who complete the course

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

The main laws governing employees in Malaysia are the Employment Act 1955 (EA), Labour Ordinances (Sabah 2004 and Sarawak 2005) (LO) which deal with employment issues and benefits administration; and the Industrial Relations Act 1967 (IRA) which deals with misconduct and dismissals.

All Operational, Line and HR Managers should know all these laws as they are directly involved in their employee management.

In this programme participants will learn about the rights and obligations of employers and employees and how to administer them to employees. They will also learn how to handle indiscipline in their departments and how to conduct the domestic inquiry.

The programme is delivered by a seasoned HR practitioner who has mastered the art of delivering legal programmes in a straight forward non-legal way.

The participants will therefore find it very easy to master the laws in 2 days.

HIGHLIGHT 1: Participants will receive samples of disciplinary communication and documents which participants will find most useful, as they can be used as templates

HIGHLIGHT 2: Participants will go through an experiential workshop on Malaysian Labour Laws

HIGHLIGHT 3: Participants will learn from case laws that will provide guidance to making decisions
