Document background
This Termination For Cause Letter is a crucial document used in Malaysian employment relationships when an employer needs to terminate an employee's contract due to serious misconduct, repeated poor performance, or other justifiable reasons. The document must be drafted in compliance with Malaysian employment legislation, particularly the Employment Act 1955 and Industrial Relations Act 1967. It should clearly outline the specific reasons for termination, reference any prior warnings or disciplinary actions, and detail the final arrangements including notice period or payment in lieu. Given the potential for unfair dismissal claims in Malaysia's Industrial Court, the letter must be carefully worded and supported by sufficient documentation of the cause for termination.
