Why It Matters for Compliance

Payroll records are the first thing an auditor asks for

Whether it's a DOSH inspection, an RBA VAP audit, or a SMETA review, payroll documentation is typically the first evidence requested. Gaps or inconsistencies here can trigger a Priority Non-Conformance even when working conditions themselves are fine.

Minimum Wage Compliance

All payroll runs are checked against Malaysia's current minimum wage (RM1,700/month) before disbursement, with overtime calculated per the Employment Act 1955.

Audit-Ready Documentation

Itemised payslips, contribution receipts, and deduction records retained and organised for a minimum of 3 years, ready to hand to any auditor on request.

FAQ

Payroll & statutory compliance FAQ

Do foreign workers contribute to EPF?
Foreign worker EPF contribution is generally optional at a reduced employer rate under current KWSP rules, while SOCSO and EIS-equivalent coverage (via the Foreign Worker Compensation Scheme) is mandatory. We advise employers on exact current obligations for their workforce mix.
What deductions are illegal under Malaysian law?
Employers cannot deduct recruitment fees, uniform costs beyond prescribed limits, or arbitrary penalties from wages without the worker's written consent and a lawful basis under the Employment Act 1955.
How long must payroll records be kept?
A minimum of 3 years is standard practice in Malaysia and aligns with both statutory requirements and RBA/SMETA audit expectations.
