A Constructive Dismissal Letter is a crucial document in Malaysian employment law when an employee is forced to resign due to the employer's conduct making the continuation of employment untenable. This document is typically used when there has been a fundamental breach of the employment contract by the employer, such as unilateral changes to employment terms, creating a hostile work environment, or failure to address serious workplace issues. The letter must comprehensively document the circumstances, timeline, and specific incidents that led to the constructive dismissal situation, while referencing relevant Malaysian legislation and employment laws. It serves both as a formal notification to the employer and as a potential foundation for legal proceedings in the Malaysian Industrial Court, where constructive dismissal claims are heard.
