An employment relationship has run its course. Both sides would prefer a clean parting to a disciplinary process or a redundancy exercise.
But a payment made without a properly drafted agreement buys nothing. The employee can still file a representation, and the payment becomes evidence rather than settlement.

Important: Limited Slots
A separation agreement only works if entry into it was genuinely voluntary. Pressure applied during the process can undermine the release it was meant to secure.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Legal That Works?
Legal That Works is a business and organisation oriented legal service designed by Messrs Akmal Saufi & Co (the firm that has brought the widely known legal consumer services brand ASCOLAW). We specifically help business owners and organisation leadership to navigate Malaysia’s legal terrain to achieve their commercial goal.
What if I’m not sure what legal service I need?
No problem. Most business owners aren’t legal experts! Just reach out. Our team will guide you to the right service or help you understand your options—without jargon or upselling.
Does a separation agreement prevent a claim?
A properly drafted and genuinely voluntary agreement is designed to. Drafting and process both matter.
How much should be offered?
There is no fixed formula. We will advise on a commercially sensible range for your circumstances.
Can we ask an employee to sign immediately?
Giving reasonable time to consider strengthens the agreement considerably.
Who will be helping me?
All our services are delivered by our licensed lawyers under the Malaysian Bar with proven experience across industries. You’ll work with a real legal team, not chatbots or generic customer support.
