Document background
The Letter Of Intent For Job Offer is a crucial document in the Malaysian hiring process, typically issued after successful job interviews and negotiations but before the formal employment contract. It serves as an official written communication of the employer's intent to hire and outlines preliminary terms of employment while complying with Malaysian labor laws. This document is particularly important in professional settings where there may be a gap between verbal offer acceptance and the formal employment contract, such as when pending medical check-ups, background verification, or work permit applications. The letter includes essential information about the position, compensation, and basic terms of employment, providing clarity to both parties while maintaining flexibility for the final employment agreement. Under Malaysian law, while this document demonstrates serious intent to employ, it is generally not considered a binding employment contract unless specifically drafted as such.
