Employment Law And Theory - A Malaysian Focus With A Comparative Perspective highlights the principles of law and equity that seem to govern the Malaysian Employment Law, in particular those that relate to what is normally referred to as private employment law. The discourse and dissertation by the author in this respect is both intensive and extensive. Apart from examining the essence and attributes of employment jurisprudence, and delving into the development and sources of Malaysian Employment Law, emphasis was laid on the rights, duties and obligations of employees and employers. In consequence, microscopic discussions were undertaken on the issues of contract of employment, security of tenure, unfair dismissal, termination and variation of employment, rights to livelihood, and employee health and safety concerns, among others. This aside, and quite fittingly so, landmark judicial decisions on employment law issues, and the extent to which the decisions were coloured by common law or administrative law principles, or swayed by constitutional or legislative intents, as the case may be, were aptly discussed and interpreted. Labour and employment law practitioners and human resource managers should find Employment Law And Theory - A Malaysian Focus With A Comparative Perspective most satiating in terms of their daily practice needs. Needless to say, this Book will open up new horizons for them. Most certainly, it will make them better understand the competing forces and interests at work in the lingering struggles between the demands of employees for better work conditions and the simultaneous demands of employers for understanding of their limited resources to accommodate. Likewise, this Book should also appeal to lawyers and academicians, and the publisher is not hesitant in recommending the same to them.
