Forced To Resign In Kajang?
Your Kajang employer left you no real choice but to resign.
Kajang has grown fast around its MRT terminus, and the factories and warehouses that came with it produce their share of workplace disputes.
If you resigned because staying had stopped being possible, this is the route your claim takes.
How a Kajang claim starts
Your first step is a written Section 20 representation to the Director General of Industrial Relations. It must reach them within 60 days of your resignation1.
If conciliation does not settle things, the case moves on to the Industrial Court. JPPM confirms which court branch covers your workplace.
What pushes Kajang workers out
Kajang is a manufacturing and logistics town at the end of the MRT line. Industrial estates here feed much of the local employment.
Plant staff, warehouse crews and retail workers around Metro Point Kajang often point to a transfer or a changed target. A demotion is another common reason workers finally leave.
The contract test decides whether that conduct went far enough to count2.

Common questions
Which Industrial Court branch covers a claim from Kajang?
JPPM confirms the branch that covers your workplace. Filing starts with a written representation to the Director General of Industrial Relations, and conciliation comes before any hearing.
I work shifts at a Kajang factory. Does that change anything?
No. Shift work is common around Kajang's industrial estates, but the same contract test applies to every worker. The question is whether your employer broke the contract at its root.
How long after leaving a Kajang job can I still claim?
You have 60 days from your resignation to lodge the written representation. Missing that window generally closes the Section 20 route, so check your dates early.
