Document background
The Remote Employment Agreement serves as a legally binding document under Malaysian law, designed to formalize remote working arrangements between employers and employees. This agreement has become increasingly important following the global shift toward remote work and Malaysia's adaptation to modern working practices. It incorporates requirements from key Malaysian legislation including the Employment Act 1955, Personal Data Protection Act 2010, and Occupational Safety and Health Act 1994. The document is suitable for both fully remote positions and hybrid work arrangements, providing comprehensive coverage of essential employment terms while addressing specific remote work considerations such as virtual communication, digital security, and home office requirements. It's particularly relevant for companies expanding their remote workforce or transitioning existing employees to remote work arrangements in Malaysia.
