Nomera · Solutions
Three engagements, each designed for a distinct need.
A focused review, a specific advisory engagement, or an ongoing programme — structured to fit the situation without unnecessary scope or cost.
← Back to HomeOur Methodology
How every Nomera engagement is structured.
Each engagement begins with a structured intake — a short questionnaire or document review that gives the team a complete picture before the substantive work begins. This means the work starts from a position of reasonable understanding, rather than spending the first part of an engagement establishing basic facts.
The legislative framework applied is the current one. For contract reviews, that means the Employment Act 1955 as amended in 2022, the relevant subsidiary regulations, and any sector-specific requirements that apply to the client's business.
For disciplinary and termination work, the process standards applied are those the Industrial Court uses when assessing whether a dismissal was with just cause or excuse — procedural requirements, natural justice, and the standards applied in recent Industrial Court awards.
Every engagement produces a written deliverable. For the compliance programme, that includes a quarterly written summary of matters handled and any relevant legislative or case-law developments. Scope and fees are set out in the engagement letter before the work begins.
Workplace Policy and Employment Contract Review
A focused engagement for employers and HR teams who want a careful review of their employment contracts, handbooks, and key workplace policies under Malaysian employment law. The work begins with a structured intake that maps the company's headcount, role categories, and any sectoral considerations. The team reviews the documents against current legislative requirements, flags points that warrant attention, and prepares a written advisory note with suggested amendments.
What is included
- Structured intake questionnaire mapping company structure and role categories
- Review of employment contracts, handbooks, and selected policies
- Written advisory note with legislative flags and suggested amendments
- Revised drafts of reviewed documents where appropriate
- Briefing call on completion for HR team questions

- 02Documents submitted and reviewed against current legislation
- 03Written advisory note prepared with flagged items and recommendations
- 04Revised document drafts prepared where applicable
- 05Briefing call with HR team to close the engagement
Disciplinary, Grievance, and Termination Advisory
A considered service for employers managing a sensitive workplace matter — a disciplinary inquiry, a grievance process, or a contemplated termination — and for employees who have received a notice and wish to understand their position. The engagement is structured around procedural fairness. The team works through the relevant facts, identifies the legal framework, and prepares the documentation needed for a careful and defensible process.
What is included
- Review of relevant documents (show-cause letters, notices, witness statements)
- Written analysis of the legal framework and procedural requirements
- Preparation of documentation for inquiry or termination process

- 05Industrial Court preparation where required
Industrial Relations and Compliance Programme
A more substantial engagement for medium-sized and larger employers who want considered support across their employment-law footprint. The programme covers periodic policy review, training sessions for line managers on common procedural points, advisory support during organisational changes, and prepared response frameworks for industrial disputes. The team coordinates with HR business partners and, where present, the company's in-house counsel.
What is included
- Periodic policy review against current legislative requirements
- Manager training sessions on disciplinary and grievance procedures
- Advisory support during restructuring or business transfer
- Response frameworks for industrial disputes
- Quarterly written summary of matters and legislative developments
Programme structure

Policy Review — Best for
Employers updating contracts after the 2022 Employment Act amendments, or reviewing a handbook before rolling it out.
Disciplinary Advisory — Best for
Employers managing a specific workplace matter, or employees who have received a show-cause letter or termination notice.
Compliance Programme — Best for
Medium to larger employers who want ongoing support rather than addressing issues individually as they arise.
