Document background
The Acknowledgement of Retirement Letter to Employee is a crucial document in Malaysian employment practice that formalizes the retirement process between an employer and an employee. It is typically issued when an employee reaches the statutory retirement age of 60 (as per the Minimum Retirement Age Act 2012) or opts for voluntary retirement where permissible. The document serves multiple purposes: it officially acknowledges the retirement, confirms the final working day, outlines any retirement benefits or gratuities, addresses the handling of employment benefits such as EPF withdrawals, and provides information about the transition process. This letter is essential for both legal compliance and proper administrative documentation, helping to ensure a smooth retirement process while protecting both employer and employee interests under Malaysian law.
