The importance of job security in the form continuity in employment in an organisation up to the normal retirement age applies to the general working population. Unfortunately, job loss justified by the economic and business needs is an inevitable and painful consequences of a corporate restructuring or reorganisation process. Downsizing can happen when the business no longer requires the same number of employees it used to because the functions of the employee have either ceased or diminished to a significant extent. The recent Covid pandemic, for example, has placed much strain on businesses, especially government-imposed lockdown and movement control across the globe make it difficult to secure new business or continue with ongoing projects. It is, however, essential that the termination of an employment contract on the grounds of redundancy must flow from justifiable grounds which must be bona fide and be untainted by any unfair labour practice. This updated edition provides a comprehensive coverage on the recent and significant developments in the law and practice of retrenchment in Malaysia.
