The management of a workforce across Asia can be difficult and demanding. The legal regimes, attitudes and practices in the field of workplace law vary as much from one Asian country to another as do the cultures, languages and history.

Freehills Asia Employment Law Guide 2011, produced by our Employee Relations - Asia team, is a comprehensive guide summarising the employment laws in each major jurisdiction across Asia. It is an indispensible tool for corporate in-house counsel and human resources professionals with regional responsibilities across Asia.

Freehills Asia Employment Law Guide 2011 covers the following jurisdictions:

  • Hong Kong SAR
  • India
  • Indonesia
  • Japan
  • Korea
  • Malaysia
  • People’s Republic of China
  • Singapore
  • Taiwan
  • Thailand
  • The Philippines, and
  • Vietnam.

The guide provides an overview of the employment law framework in each jurisdiction, covering: minimum statutory terms, termination of employment, discrimination and harassment, occupational health & safety, regulation of outsourcing and contracting and industrial relations.

Collaboration has been key to the development of Freehills Asia Employment Law Guide 2011. Freehills’ associated firms in Indonesia, the PRC and Vietnam, as well as local counsel in the other jurisdictions, have contributed important local knowledge to make this guide relevant to all requiring employment law advice in Asia.
