Document background
The Contract Job Offer Letter is used when a company in Malaysia intends to hire an employee for a specific period or project rather than as a permanent staff member. This document is essential for establishing clear terms of temporary employment while ensuring compliance with Malaysian employment laws, including the Employment Act 1955 and related regulations. It provides crucial information about the position, including contract duration, compensation, benefits, working conditions, and termination provisions. The letter serves as the foundation for the contractual relationship and is particularly important in Malaysia's growing gig economy and project-based work environment. It helps protect both employer and employee interests by clearly documenting the temporary nature of the engagement and associated terms.
