Disclaimer

What this site can tell you, and where a lawyer has to take over.

For people seeking legal representation. For general information, please use our guides and tools.

This site gives general information about unfair dismissal and employment disputes in Malaysia. It aims to give you the facts so you can decide what to do next.

General information, not advice

Every dismissal turns on its own facts and dates, and general information cannot account for yours. It is not a substitute for advice from a qualified lawyer who has looked at your situation.

For advice you can rely on, speak to a licensed Malaysian employment lawyer, ideally well before your deadline.

We are a resource, not your lawyer

Unfair Dismissal Guide is an independent resource that connects workers with an employment lawyer. Reading these pages or messaging us does not create a lawyer-client relationship.

That relationship starts only when you and a lawyer agree to work together, on terms you settle directly with them.

Sources and accuracy

We cite our sources and aim to stay accurate and current. Even so, the law can change and pages can fall behind. If something looks wrong or out of date, tell us and we will check it.

You can read how we research and correct our content and the sources we use.

Considering engaging an employment lawyer? Request contact about possible representation. Any legal work and fees are agreed directly with an independent lawyer.

First contact: general facts only, such as date, location, employment status and a short summary. Keep documents private until an identified independent lawyer contacts you and specifically requests them.
