This program is the second session in our Layoff Series and is conducted in Chinese.

What may seem like a straightforward employment termination can quickly become a complex legal and financial issue when it involves different jurisdictions across Asia.

Employment termination rules, costs, procedures, and employer obligations vary significantly between Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Chinese Mainland. Understanding these differences is essential for employers planning workforce reductions and seeking to manage both legal and business risks.

This program brings together on-the-ground employment law experts from Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Chinese Mainland to explore the practical realities of terminating employment relationships across these key Asian markets.

Through a comparative discussion, our experts address three critical questions employers need to consider when planning a termination:

• Is it easy to terminate an employment relationship in your jurisdiction?
• How much does termination typically cost?
• What are the key points employers need to consider when terminating an employment relationship?

Listeners will gain practical insight into:

• The key legal requirements and practical considerations for terminating employment in each jurisdiction
• How termination costs can vary depending on the circumstances and applicable local requirements
• The procedures, documentation, notice requirements, and potential risks employers should be aware of
• Key differences between Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, and the Chinese Mainland
• Practical considerations for multinational employers managing workforce reductions across multiple Asian jurisdictions

This isn’t academic—it’s operational. Whether you are advising the business, managing HR operations, or implementing a workforce reduction, this program provides practical, comparative guidance to help employers understand their options, anticipate costs, and avoid costly missteps.

Ideal for General Counsel, CHROs, HR professionals, and business leaders managing employees across Asia.
