As an employer, business owner and employee in Malaysia, you’ll need to understand the Malaysia Employment Act (1955) clearly to ensure compliance. The EA does not cover every single employee in Malaysia, but it does cover the majority of employees and is the main legislation on employment matters in Malaysia.

The Employment Act (1955), also known as the EA, is an act that outlines the rights of employees and employers and their obligations under the law.

It is imperative to comply with various pertinent Acts to ensure a fair workplace, an engaged workforce and to avoid expensive lawsuits.
