The Commitment Letter For Work is a crucial pre-employment document widely used in the Malaysian business environment to formalize employment offers and establish clear terms of engagement between employers and prospective employees. It serves as a bridge between initial job discussions and formal employment, incorporating essential elements required by Malaysian employment law, including the Employment Act 1955 and related legislation. This document is typically issued after successful job interviews and negotiations, but before the commencement of employment, containing critical information such as job role, compensation, benefits, working conditions, and other terms of employment. While less extensive than a full employment contract, it carries legal weight and is often referenced in future employment relationships.
