Document background
The Employee Notice of Resignation is a crucial document in Malaysian employment relationships, required whenever an employee decides to voluntarily terminate their employment. It must comply with the Malaysian Employment Act 1955 and any applicable employment contract terms, particularly regarding notice periods which typically range from 4-8 weeks for monthly-rated employees. This document serves multiple purposes: it formally communicates the employee's intention to resign, establishes the final working day, ensures legal compliance with notice requirements, and initiates the formal separation process. It should be submitted to both the immediate supervisor and HR department, maintaining professional standards while protecting both parties' legal interests. The notice becomes part of the employee's permanent employment record and may be referred to for final settlements, reference checks, or in case of any future employment disputes.
