Document background
The Joining Letter After Maternity Leave is a crucial document used in Malaysian employment contexts when an employee returns from statutory maternity leave, which under the Employment (Amendment) Act 2022 extends to 98 days. This document serves multiple purposes: it formally documents the employee's return date, confirms their position and working arrangements, and outlines any modifications or accommodations agreed upon. It ensures compliance with Malaysian employment legislation while providing clarity and security for both employer and employee. The letter should be issued before the employee's return and must align with the Employment Act 1955's provisions regarding maternity protection and return-to-work rights. This document is particularly important in maintaining clear communication and preventing potential disputes about employment terms post-maternity leave.
