Standard probation clauses in Malaysian employment contracts

by Faridah HassanยทNovember 16, 2025

Typically 3โ€“6 months. During probation, either party can terminate with shorter notice (sometimes 1-7 days). Employer doesn't need to give reason. Know your rights before signing anything.

Many employees do not read their own employment contract. Know your probation terms before you start, not after.

Under EA 2022 amendments, probation rights have been slightly improved. Worth reading the updated version.
