Document background
A Letter of Termination of Service is a crucial document used in Malaysian employment contexts to formally end an employment relationship. It must be drafted in compliance with the Employment Act 1955 and other relevant Malaysian employment legislation. This document is typically used when an employer wishes to terminate an employee's service with proper notice, or in cases of mutual separation. The letter should clearly state the termination date, notice period, and final payment arrangements, while ensuring all statutory requirements are met. It serves as official documentation of the employment termination and helps protect both parties' interests by clearly outlining all termination terms and conditions. The document is particularly important in Malaysia's legal context as it can be crucial evidence in any subsequent employment disputes or claims.
