Document background
The Contractor Offer Letter is a crucial document used when a company wishes to engage an independent contractor's services in Malaysia. It serves as the formal offer and preliminary agreement document, establishing the fundamental terms of the contractor relationship while ensuring compliance with Malaysian legislation, particularly the Contracts Act 1950 and related regulations. This document is essential for clearly differentiating the arrangement from an employment relationship, protecting both parties' interests, and setting clear expectations for the engagement. The letter typically precedes or accompanies more detailed terms and conditions, making it a vital first step in establishing a proper contractor relationship within the Malaysian legal framework.
