Aunty HR On Silly & Costly HR Mistakes Employers Make

Think your "standard” employment contract protects you? From illegal salary deductions to non-compete clauses that won't hold water, many Malaysian employers are sitting on an HR time bomb. Former Industrial Court Panellist Ku Sim Ling (Aunty HR) and Victor Gan, CEO of E2 Workforce Consulting, join Enterprise Explores to reveal why businesses are losing over half of industrial court cases and how emotional firing decisions can trigger costly 7-figure mistakes for SMEs.

Tune in to find out:

• The 24-Month Back-Wage Hit: Why procedural mistakes can trigger a court-ordered penalty of up to two years of salary plus seniority compensation.

• The Non-Compete Myth: Why your bulletproof restraint of trade clause is likely unenforceable under Section 28 and the one specific way to actually buy a competitor-free exit.

• The Silent Breach: How late EPF payments or other breaches in the employment contract create a constructive dismissal window for employees to walk out and trigger back-wage liabilities.

• The Trade Union Surge: The data behind the 8-month spike in union recognition claims and the "Maturity Gap" currently costing Malaysian SMEs their industrial harmony.

• The RM20K Defence Barrier: Why even "winning" an Industrial Court case is a financial loss, and the document trail required to manage a claim before it reaches the bench.
