Payroll Malaysia
Malaysian payroll has some key aspects to consider:
Pay frequency: Monthly is most common, but bi-weekly or weekly can occur depending on the industry or company.
Taxes: Employers handle monthly income tax (PCB/MTD) for employees. Tax rates are progressive for residents and may be flat for expats for a limited time.
Statutory contributions: These are mandatory deductions from salary. The main ones are:
Employees Provident Fund (EPF) - savings for retirement. Contribution rates vary based on salary.
Social Security Organisation (SOCSO) - provides social security benefits.
Employment Insurance System (EIS) - for unemployment benefits.
Other deductions: These may include employee benefits or loan repayments.
Payment deadlines: Employees’ bank accounts must be credited by the 7th of each month. There are also deadlines for remitting contributions to relevant authorities.
For employers, managing payroll can be complex. Many companies use payroll software to streamline the process.
