What is the Letter of Undertaking?
The Letter of Undertaking is a document, signed by a company director of the Malaysian sponsoring entity, in which the employer undertakes to pay the employee the salary stated on the application, with the understanding that, should the immigration authorities find that the salary figure submitted is false, they will have the right to terminate the Employment Pass with immediate effect and penalize the sponsoring entity. Penalties for non-compliance in this regard include fines of up to 10000MYR plus imprisonment for up to five years for the signing director.
Pro-Link GLOBAL will provide sample template Letters of Understanding to our clients for all applications.
Additionally, it should be noted that the original employment contract between the foreign national employee/assignee and the Malaysian sponsoring entity must be stamped with the company stamp before being submitted to the immigration department. |
