Document background
A Retirement Letter To Employer is a crucial document used when an employee decides to conclude their employment relationship through retirement in Malaysia. This formal communication is required to comply with Malaysian employment law, particularly the Minimum Retirement Age Act 2012, which sets the minimum retirement age at 60 for private sector employees. The letter should be submitted with appropriate notice (typically 1-3 months, depending on employment terms) and includes key information such as the intended retirement date, handover plans, and requests for processing retirement benefits. It serves as an official record triggering various administrative processes including EPF withdrawals, computation of final benefits, and clearance procedures. The document is particularly important in the Malaysian context where retirement benefits and processes are strictly regulated.
