Announcement: Launch of Employment Contract & Employee Handbook Templates for Malaysian Entities

BRIDGE International Asia Sdn Bhd, a subsidiary of Bridge International Group, is pleased to announce the launch of employment contract and employee handbook templates for Malaysian entities. Following the major 2022 amendments to the Employment Act in Malaysia, which introduced changes such as extended maternity leave, new paternity leave, statutory flexible work arrangements, and stricter foreign employment regulations, the need for proper documentation has become urgent for many Japanese companies to prevent legal disputes. These templates, supervised by Japanese attorney Mitsuru Misawa, CEO of Borderless Consulting Sdn. Bhd., cover statutory requirements including minimum wage, EPF, SOCSO, EIS, the MACC Act, and the Personal Data Protection Act. Provided in Word format with English text and Japanese annotations, they facilitate easy sharing with local staff and review by Japanese headquarters.
