- St. Giles Wembley Penang Hotel
INTRODUCTION
Many organizations still treat their employee handbook as a static, copy‑paste manual. This two‑day intensive program changes that by demystifying the Employment Act 1955 and bridging the gap between dense legal statutes and everyday HR operations.
Participants will go beyond theory to actively dissect, draft, and refine a sample handbook that reflects today’s realities. From the 45‑hour work week to updated leave entitlements and statutory grievance procedures, every clause will be translated into practical, compliant policies, ensuring the handbook becomes a living document that evolves with legislation and organizational needs.

LEARNING OUTCOME
By the end of the program, participants will be able to:
- Interpret the EA 1955: Confidently navigate the Act’s requirements regarding working hours, wages, and statutory leave.
- Distinguish Legal Boundaries: Clearly separate contractual terms (which cannot be changed without consent) from company policies (which management can amend).
- Adapt Handbook Samples: Customize standard handbook templates to fit their specific industry while maintaining strict legal compliance.
WHY THIS PROGRAM MATTERS NOW
- EA 1955 Amendments — recent updates (45‑hour work week, expanded leave entitlements, grievance procedures) require immediate handbook revisions.
- Legal Risk Exposure — poorly worded policies have led to Industrial Court disputes; compliance reduces unfair dismissal claims.
