Document background
The Retirement Notice Letter To Employee is a crucial document in Malaysian employment practice, required when an employee reaches the statutory retirement age of 60 years as stipulated by the Minimum Retirement Age Act 2012. This document serves multiple purposes: it provides formal notification of retirement, ensures compliance with legal requirements, outlines the retirement process, and details final entitlements and benefits. The letter should be issued with sufficient notice period as per employment contract or company policy, typically ranging from one to three months. It forms part of the official employment records and may be required for processing retirement benefits, EPF withdrawals, and other post-employment matters. The document needs to balance legal compliance with sensitivity, acknowledging the significant transition in the employee's life while maintaining professional standards.
