When you’re running a multijurisdictional organisation — or even when you’re just working or trading with organisations in different territories — you need to be aware of differences in local culture and law. To help you do this, Brightmine is launching the ultimate resource for navigating employment law in Malaysia — the Malaysia International Employment Law Guide.

To highlight Malaysia’s dynamic legal landscape, here are some interesting “Did you know” facts about Malaysian employment law:

Authored by a local Malaysian law firm and updated monthly, our new international Malaysia employment law guide offers practical insights without the legal jargon. Whether you are venturing into the Malaysian market, an employer seeking to hire Malaysian employees, or an HR professional seeking guidance, this guide is designed to cater to your daily compliance needs. It offers up-to-date information on a range of HR issues such as different forms of employment contracts, flexible working, whistleblowing, transfers of a business undertaking, and current minimum wages, income tax and social security rates. Register your interest.

We will be adding Malaysia as a new country guide to join our suite of 40+ employment law guides for HR professionals for staff outside the UK.
