What is a payroll system in Malaysia?

A payroll system in Malaysia is a software platform that automates the calculation and disbursement of employee salaries, including all mandatory statutory deductions and contributions. In Malaysia, this means accurately calculating and remitting EPF (Employees Provident Fund), SOCSO (Social Security Organisation), EIS (Employment Insurance System), HRDF (Human Resources Development Fund), and PCB (Potongan Cukai Bulanan — monthly tax deduction) for every employee, every pay cycle. A full payroll system also generates government-compliant forms like the EA form, Borang E, and CP39, and supports LHDN e-Filing.
