What is ‘Employment & Industrial Relations’?

Workplace disputes can be disruptive, costly, and damaging to both reputation and morale. Employment and industrial relations law covers the rights and obligations of employers and employees in Malaysia, including unfair dismissal, workplace grievances, employment contracts, and HR compliance.

At The Chambers of Waran, our Employment & Industrial Relations practice provides clear, balanced guidance to both employers and employees. We understand the pressures on all parties and aim to resolve issues fairly and efficiently, before they escalate.

We advise clients on both contentious and non-contentious matters, from drafting HR policies and employment contracts to representing clients in Industrial Court proceedings. Our goal is to ensure compliance, fairness, and practical resolution while protecting the interests of all involved.

Employment & industrial relations matters we commonly handle:

• Unfair dismissal and constructive dismissal claims

• Domestic inquiries and disciplinary actions

• Employment contract drafting and review

• Industrial Court representation

• Retrenchment and redundancy matters

• Collective agreement disputes

• Employee misconduct investigations
