Well drafted contracts and policies are essential to properly protect both employers and employees and help ensure the smooth running of a business. These are especially important when the contract or policy will govern the exit or entry of an employee. A badly managed exit or entry may have very negative implications for both employers and employees. The right strategies and fair outcomes must be considered in negotiating contracts and severance terms.

  • Advising on collective agreements, mutual separation agreements and voluntary separation schemes and the preparation of documents incidental thereto
  • Reviewing and drafting employment contracts
  • Structuring retrenchment exercises and preparing all relevant documentation
  • Reviewing and redrafting employees’ handbooks/manuals to ensure compliance with employment laws of Malaysia
  • Structuring effective performance review plans
