Document background
The Offer Letter With Probationary Period is a crucial employment document used in Malaysia when extending formal job offers to new employees. It serves as the initial employment contract, establishing the employment relationship and setting clear expectations for both parties. This document is particularly important in the Malaysian context, where the Employment Act 1955 requires specific terms and conditions to be clearly communicated to employees. It typically includes details about the position, compensation, benefits, working hours, and most importantly, the terms and conditions of the probationary period. The probationary period allows both employer and employee to assess mutual fit, with specific performance criteria and evaluation processes outlined. This document is commonly used for both fresh hires and experienced professionals across all industries, providing a legal framework for the initial employment phase while ensuring compliance with Malaysian employment laws.
