Navigating Malaysian Compliance Automatically
Generate statutory contributions with the correct rates and wage ceilings, map categories accurately, and produce files compatible with EPF, SOCSO, and EIS portals. Your team spends less time double‑checking tables and more time serving customers.
Navigating Malaysian Compliance Automatically
Automated PCB ensures monthly tax deductions are calculated based on the latest schedules. Export or submit via e-CP39/e-PCB with audit trails that show how figures were derived, making queries with LHDN faster and less stressful.
Integrations That Simplify Payday
Prepare bank files that align with local formats for IBG or instant transfers. Scheduled payouts reduce manual uploads and last‑minute rush, while validation checks help prevent rejected payments and costly reruns.
Integrations That Simplify Payday
Biometric devices and attendance apps sync hours, shifts, and allowances directly to payroll. Automated rounding rules and exception alerts reduce disputes, helping teams focus on customer service instead of timecard corrections.
Cost, ROI, and the Human Story
Understanding Total Cost of Ownership
Compare subscription fees, implementation, and support against savings from reduced errors, faster closes, and fewer penalties. Include soft benefits like morale, retention, and fewer weekend fire‑drills for your HR team.
From Firefighting to Forecasting
A Johor manufacturer once spent two days reconciling overtime for multiple shifts. With automation, they forecast payroll costs weekly and negotiate staffing ahead of demand spikes, cutting surprises and smoothing cash flow.
Employee Experience Builds Trust
Self‑service payslips, clear breakdowns of PCB and contributions, and quick corrections strengthen credibility. Employees feel respected when payroll is accurate and on time—tell us how faster payslip access changed your team’s week.
Getting Started: A Practical Malaysian Roadmap
Map Your Current Process
Document every input: shifts, allowances, advances, loan repayments, and statutory items. Identify error‑prone steps and duplicate data entry. This map becomes your checklist for configuring rules and validating results.
Select, Pilot, and Validate
Shortlist solutions that support Malaysian statutory updates and PDPA. Run a two‑cycle pilot with a small group, then perform a parallel run against your current method to confirm calculations before you fully switch.
Go‑Live with Confidence
Train managers on attendance approvals, finance on exports, and staff on self‑service. Establish a month‑end checklist, assign owners, and schedule a post‑mortem after the first live cycle to capture improvements.
