Welcome to Pesaraonline
This web-site was developed and run by a retired civil servant who has been working with the Labour Department for a long time.. The main purpose of this web-site is to provide information on Malaysian Labour Laws that might be useful to the readers. Through this web-site, both employers and employees may be able to obtain detailed information about their rights and obligations under the laws. Others readers including potential foreign investors will be able to gain some insights about Malaysian labour laws and what the labour laws will have in store for them when they come to invest in this country. There are a number of labour laws in Malaysia and this web-site gives its particular attention to three major ones such as the Employment Act 1955, Industrial Relations Act 1967 and Trade Unions Act 1959. The Employment Act provides minimum terms and coditions (mostly of monetary value) to certain category of workers, the Industrial Relations Act provides ways for settlement of trade disputes between employers and employees whereas the Trade Unions Act regulates trade union registration and the uses of trade union funds. These Acts are quite complex and your host hopes that visitors to this web-site will take time to go through them. They can be interesting if you are interested. This web-site does not teach, you read the laws yourself. However, should you have any queries, feel free to contact and your host will be glad to share his experience with you. One special feature of this web site is that it makes quite extensive use of electronic texts of the major labour laws for the easy reference purposes. It is done in such a way that the laws can be read in Parts and by individual sections. Your host personally feels that the way is more convenient as everything is just a 'click' away. Labour law students can copy and paste the text in their course assignments. Another thing is that this web site is in its developing stages and more items will be added from time to time. Your comments, suggestions are most welcome. The contents of the Acts are up-to-date and great care has been taken to ensure their accuracy. However, your host is not responsible for any loss suffered as a result of using the information provided herein. Thanks for visiting the site and GOOD LUCK! Your host KL Siew
