Document background
A Letter of Dismissal for Theft is a crucial document used when terminating an employee's employment contract due to proven instances of theft or misappropriation of company assets. Under Malaysian law, particularly the Employment Act 1955 and Industrial Relations Act 1967, employers must ensure proper documentation and follow due process when dismissing an employee for misconduct. The letter serves as official documentation of the termination decision, incorporating findings from domestic inquiry proceedings, specific details of the theft incident(s), and references to relevant company policies and employment contract provisions. It must be carefully drafted to withstand potential unfair dismissal claims and scrutiny by the Industrial Relations Court.
