So You Want to Sue Your Employer? What They Don’t Tell You | BebelHR

Описание: Thinking about suing your employer but not sure where to start?

In this episode of #BebelHR, AuntyHR sits down with Leonard Yeoh, Partner at Tay & Partners, to break down what Malaysian employees really need to know before taking legal action.

We discuss the legal grounds for suing an employer, including wrongful dismissal and constructive dismissal, and explain how Malaysian employment law works in simple terms. Leonard also answers common questions employees ask, such as whether a company can change your job scope without consent, whether a termination clause can be enforced without just cause, and what happens if a job offer is rescinded before your first day.

This episode also investigates the real cost of suing an employer. We talked about lawyer fee structures, what “last drawn salary” means, whether success fees are allowed, how much money you should realistically prepare, and at what stage you actually need to engage a lawyer. We also discuss MTUC as an alternative and what employees can expect if they choose that route.

To close, Leonard shares his “ajaran sesat” survival tips, the practical advice on how employees can protect themselves legally before things go wrong.

If you’re feeling lost, mistreated, or just want to understand your rights at work, this episode is for you.
