Document background
The Quitting Job For Mental Health Letter is a crucial document used when an employee in Malaysia needs to terminate their employment primarily due to mental health concerns. It becomes necessary when an employee's mental well-being is significantly impacted by work or when they require time to focus on their mental health recovery. This document must comply with Malaysian employment legislation, including the Employment Act 1955 and Mental Health Act 2001, while maintaining professional standards and protecting the employee's privacy rights. The letter typically includes formal resignation notice, brief health context, handover commitments, and may be accompanied by medical documentation. It serves to officially communicate the resignation while ensuring proper protocol is followed and the employee's rights are protected under Malaysian law. The document is particularly relevant in today's workplace environment where mental health awareness and employee well-being are increasingly recognized as crucial factors in employment relationships.
