Briefing on Amendments to the Industrial Relations Act

AMCHAM invites you to a briefing session on the latest amendments to the Industrial Relations Act 1967 which has come into force on 1 January 2021.

The new amendments now allow:

• automatic referrals of wrongful dismissal cases to the Industrial Court without filtering mechanism of the Minister;
• direct appeal against Industrial Court awards to the High Court instead of through judicial review;
• continued hearing of wrongful dismissal proceedings after the Claimant’s death and the award of back wages and/or compensation to next-of-kin in lieu of reinstatement;
• harsher penalties for non-compliance of Industrial Court awards

These are major changes employers need to take note of, so please join us and take this opportunity to gain a better understanding of how these new amendments would affect your organization.

Mr. Leonard Yeoh, Partner and Head of Dispute Resolution and Employment & Industrial Relations practice groups at Tay & Partners will be giving an overview of the current changes to the Act, and Mr. Vishnu Jeevapragasan, Head of Legal & Industrial Relations at Manpower Group Malaysia will provide insights and things to look out for from an employer’s perspective.
