MALAYSIAN LABOUR LAW- 1 [FAQ]

UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES CAN A CONTRACT OF SERVICE BE TERMINATED BY EITHER THE EMPLOYER OR EMPLOYEE ?
Where a contract of service is considered broken, an employer can dismiss an employee. A contract of service is considered to have been broken when an employee has been absent from work for more than 2 consecutive working days without prior leave from the employer or without informing or attempting to inform the employer at the earliest opportunity during such absence with reasonable excuse.

An employer may terminate the contract of service where the employee is found guilty of misconduct, misdemeanor or negligence.
