Document background
The Promotion Rejection Letter is a crucial human resource document used in Malaysian business contexts when an organization needs to formally communicate a negative decision regarding an employee's promotion application or consideration. This document must comply with Malaysian employment legislation, including the Employment Act 1955 and related regulations, while maintaining professional standards and protecting both employer and employee interests. The letter serves multiple purposes: it officially documents the decision, provides transparency in the promotion process, maintains professional relationships, and helps mitigate potential legal risks. It should be drafted with sensitivity to local business culture and practices, including appropriate levels of formality and respect. The document typically includes the decision, brief reasoning, recognition of the employee's contributions, and guidance for future development opportunities.
