Compliance with labour standards must be an ultimate goal for every firm to enhance their productivity, performance and efficiency. This paper aims to propose a conceptual model of the employer's compliance with labour standards. The paper goes to analyse factors that play a role in compliance behaviour. The factors were outlined in this paper by adopting Lindenberg's Goal Framing Theory (GFT) and the Option-Generation Framework Theory. The methodology used in this study is based on a systematic literature review of past studies from the year 2015 until 2019. A compilation of the previous studies were collected from several searching engines, for example, Emerald Insight, JSTOR, and Springer Link. Several keywords such as 'factor influencing/firm compliance/compliance behaviour/labour legislation' were used and only an empirical paper from social sciences discipline were selected as inclusion criteria. The studies then, were analysed and discussed in the context of factors that influence employer's compliance. The findings on the paper will include the type of factors that play a role in compliance behaviour and which factor appears to be the most influential to employers including trends and changing in compliance behaviour in the past recent years. It has to be noted here that it is important for employers to understand the importance of law compliance as it may be the factor that leads to productivity and company's financial stability. It also will benefit the policymaker in encouraging employer towards labour standards practices, restructuring policies in labour standard and understanding the compliance trends of employers in the future.
