Abstract

The Employment (Amendment) Act 2022 has recently been passed, bringing significant changes to the Employment Act 1955 in Malaysia. This article provides an overview of the key amendments and their impact on employers and employees. Through an analysis of relevant laws and decided cases, it examines the implications of these amendments. The amendments aim to strengthen employee protection and improve working conditions. They address areas such as working hours, annual leave, maternity leave, and termination of employment. For employers, these changes require adjustments to their policies and practices to ensure compliance with the amended provisions. They also introduce greater responsibilities in managing employment relationships and avoiding unfair dismissal claims. Overall, the Employment (Amendment) Act 2022 brings significant changes to employment practices in Malaysia. This article highlights the effects on employers and employees, providing valuable information for stakeholders to adapt to the amended provisions and ensure a fair and conducive working environment.
