Common questions
I worked at a retail outlet near Ampang Point and was dismissed after a customer complaint I disputed. Does that matter?
It can. The employer has to prove the dismissal was for just cause and excuse, not you. Write down what happened, your version of events and how your employer responded.
My hospitality job near AEON Ampang ended with a verbal notice only. Is there still time to act?
You generally have 60 days from the dismissal date to send a written representation to the Director General of Industrial Relations. Note the exact date you stopped working so you can track the window.
Can I get advice while working near the embassy row area?
Yes. A first conversation is usually handled over WhatsApp, so it fits around service and hospitality shifts.
