Most employers think probation failure is about the employee.
โ Wrong.
๐ Itโs about your process.
In many Industrial Court cases, employers lost not because the employee was goodโฆ
but because the process was weak.
๐ In Goon Kwee Phoy v J & P Coats (M) Sdn Bhd, the court emphasized:
๐ Employers must prove just cause and excuse, not assumptions.
๐ In Dreamland Corporation (M) Sdn Bhd v Choong Chin Sooi:
๐ Even probationers are entitled to fair evaluation and proper assessment.
๐ก Lesson:
You donโt lose at the Industrial Courtโฆ
You lose in your documentation, monitoring, and fairness.
