Document background
The Letter of Termination of Employment is a crucial document in Malaysian employment relations, governed by the Employment Act 1955 and related legislation. It is used when an employer needs to formally end an employment relationship, whether due to performance issues, redundancy, restructuring, or other valid reasons. The letter must be carefully drafted to ensure compliance with Malaysian employment law, including proper notice periods, statutory benefits, and final payment calculations. It should clearly state the termination date, notice period arrangements, and any post-employment obligations. This document serves as legal evidence of proper termination procedures and helps protect both employer and employee interests while maintaining clear communication about the termination terms.
