Asia Employment Law Guide 2010
29 July 2010

Employment laws across Asia are multifarious and it’s a challenge to be across them all. The Freehills Workplace Law & Advisory–Asia team in Singapore has produced a comprehensive guide summarising the employment laws in each major jurisdiction across Asia.
Asia Employment Law Guide 2010 is an indispensible tool for corporate in-house counsel and human resources professionals who have regional responsibilities across Asia. It is a must-have publication because 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.
The jurisdictions covered in the Asia Employment Law Guide 2010 include:
- Hong Kong SAR
- India
- Indonesia
- Japan
- Korea
- Malaysia
- People’s Republic of China
- Singapore
- Taiwan
- Thailand
- The Philippines, and
- Vietnam.
Topics are reviewed succinctly and they cover: minimum statutory terms, termination of employment, discrimination and harassment, occupational health and safety, regulation of outsourcing and contracting and industrial relations.
Collaboration has been key in the development of Asia Employment Law Guide 2010. Freehills’ associated firms in Indonesia 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.
