The Volunteer Agreement serves as a crucial document for organizations in Malaysia engaging volunteers across various sectors. This agreement is designed to clearly establish the voluntary nature of the relationship while providing necessary structure and protection for both parties. It includes essential elements such as volunteer duties, time commitments, organizational support, health and safety provisions, and confidentiality requirements. The document ensures compliance with relevant Malaysian legislation including the Employment Act 1955 (to distinguish from employment relationships), OSHA 1994, and PDPA 2010.
