The Letter of Resignation After Maternity Leave is a specialized document used in the Maltese jurisdiction when an employee decides not to return to their position following their maternity leave period. This document must comply with Malta's comprehensive employment legislation, including the Protection of Maternity (Employment) Regulations and the Employment and Industrial Relations Act. The letter serves as official notification of the employee's decision to end their employment, typically including the return-from-maternity date, the intended last working day, and any relevant handover information. It's particularly important in Malta where employees have specific rights and protections related to maternity leave, and the document should reflect these legal considerations while maintaining professional standards.
