Document background
The Letter of Offer and Acceptance is a crucial document in Malaysian employment practice, used when an organization intends to formally hire a new employee. This document type combines the offer of employment with acceptance provisions, creating a legally binding agreement once signed by both parties. It must comply with Malaysian employment legislation, including the Employment Act 1955, Industrial Relations Act 1967, and other relevant laws. The letter typically follows successful job interviews and negotiations, containing detailed employment terms, compensation packages, benefits, and working conditions. It serves as the foundation for the employment relationship and may be referenced in case of future disputes. Organizations should ensure their Letters of Offer and Acceptance are regularly reviewed by legal counsel to maintain compliance with current Malaysian employment laws and regulations.
