A free editable resignation acceptance letter template to help Malaysian employers confirm an employee's resignation and final working day.
Once an employee resigns, confirming the resignation in writing helps keep their notice period and final working day clear.
This editable template gives you a simple way to acknowledge the resignation and document the employee's final working date before starting the offboarding process.
An employee generally resigns by giving the required notice under their employment terms. Check the employee's notice period and any applicable arrangements rather than treating resignation as something that simply requires employer approval.
Start with the resignation date and check the notice period stated in the employment contract. Also consider whether the employer and employee have agreed to shorten, waive or otherwise adjust the notice period.
The Employment Act 1955 provides for termination without waiting for the notice period to expire by paying an indemnity equivalent to the wages for the unserved notice period, subject to the applicable employment terms.
Confirm the final working day and start the offboarding process. This normally includes handover, final payroll, company property, system access and updating the employee's HR records.
