Section 201C
Prohibition of dismissal of employees by reason of training or attachment
Without prejudice to the National Service Act 1952, every employer who terminates the employment of any person in his employment, who is a member of a volunteer force, without the consent of such person solely or mainly by reason of the person being called up for training or attachment under this Act commits an offence and shall, on conviction, be liable to a fine not exceeding six thousand ringgit or to imprisonment for a term not exceeding six months or to both.
(2)
The civil court by which an employer is convicted under subsection (1) may order the employer to pay to the person whose employment is terminated, as compensation for any loss suffered or likely to be suffered by him by reason of the termination, a sum not exceeding an amount equal to six months’ remuneration at the rate at which the remuneration was last payable to that person by the employer.
