Document background
The Freelancer Offer Letter is a crucial document used when companies in Malaysia engage independent contractors for specific projects or services. It serves as the formal initiation of a freelance relationship, carefully structured to comply with Malaysian contract law while avoiding any implications of employment under the Employment Act 1955. This document is particularly relevant in today's gig economy, where companies increasingly rely on flexible workforce arrangements. The letter typically includes essential elements such as scope of services, payment terms, project timelines, and intellectual property provisions, while maintaining the independent nature of the relationship. It's designed to protect both parties' interests while providing clear parameters for the engagement within the Malaysian legal framework.
