Need An Employment Lawyer In Kajang?
Your job at a Kajang factory or depot ended and you are weighing your next step.
Kajang is a commuter town at the end of the MRT Kajang line, with manufacturing and logistics work around its industrial estates. If you were dismissed or retrenched here, two things matter first: the deadline and the reason you were given.
Where a Kajang claim goes
A worker dismissed without just cause or excuse can write to the Director General of Industrial Relations. The time limit is 60 days from the dismissal.1
The Industrial Relations Department (JPPM) confirms which Industrial Court branch covers Kajang if the case goes that far. You do not need to work that out before you write.
Retrenchment at a factory or depot
Many dismissals at Kajang factories and depots are called redundancy. The label does not settle the matter.
The redundancy itself must be genuine. When only some staff go, the usual rule is Last In First Out within the affected category, and an employer needs a reason to depart from it.2
If colleagues with less service stayed while you went, ask why. Checking who else was let go shows whether the choice followed a pattern.
What happens after you message
Send your length of service, the date you left and what your employer said. An independent lawyer may review the facts and replies about whether and how they can act.
Sending a message files nothing and does not tell your employer. You decide what to do once the lawyer replies, and you can write between shifts near Metro Point Kajang.
What to gather this week
These are the papers a lawyer will ask for first in a Kajang retrenchment.
- Your retrenchment or termination letter
- Payslips that show your length of service
- Any list of who else was let go
- Messages from a supervisor about the reason
Start while the 60-day window is still open. Evidence from a factory or depot is easier to collect early, before shifts change and colleagues move on.
If you want a lawyer to act on a retrenchment that looks unfair, send those details and the date it happened.
If you want an employment lawyer to act on a dismissal from a Kajang factory or logistics employer, send the date it happened and what was said. An independent lawyer serving Kajang may review the facts and reply on whether and how they can act.

Common questions
My factory near the Kajang industrial estate says the whole line is being retrenched. Is that automatically fair?
Not automatically. The redundancy must be genuine. Where only some staff go, the usual rule is Last In First Out within the affected category, unless the employer has a justified reason to depart from it.
I work in logistics near Kajang town centre. Does travel time to Kuala Lumpur affect my claim?
No. Where you commute from does not change your rights under Section 20. What matters is how your dismissal was carried out.
Can I speak to someone before a shift near Metro Point Kajang?
A first conversation is usually handled over WhatsApp, so it fits around a factory or logistics shift without time off.
