Document background
The Final Exit Letter is a critical document in Malaysian employment practice, issued when an employee's service with a company comes to an end, whether through resignation, retirement, or termination. This document, governed by Malaysian employment law including the Employment Act 1955 and related regulations, serves multiple purposes: it formally acknowledges the end of employment, details all final settlements and payments, confirms the return of company property, and documents compliance with clearance procedures. The Final Exit Letter is particularly important for ensuring legal compliance, preventing future disputes, and providing both parties with clear documentation of the employment termination and associated settlements. It should be issued after all exit formalities are completed but before the final settlement is processed.
