Document background
A Reference Letter For A Domestic Worker is an essential document in the Malaysian employment landscape, particularly in the domestic services sector. It serves as a formal validation of a domestic worker's employment history, skills, and character, provided by their current or former employer. The document is commonly required when domestic workers seek new employment opportunities or when dealing with employment agencies and immigration authorities. Under Malaysian law, while not strictly mandatory, these reference letters have become standard practice and are particularly important for foreign domestic workers who make up a significant portion of Malaysia's domestic workforce. The letter should align with the Employment Act 1955 provisions regarding domestic workers and consider privacy requirements under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010.
