Question

What payroll compliance rules must companies follow in Malaysia (EPF)?

Answer
Omni HR handles all Malaysian statutory payroll requirements natively — calculating EPF (KWSP) at 12–13% employer contribution (varying by salary and age), SOCSO at 1.75% employer and 0.5% employee, EIS at 0.4% each, and PCB (income tax withholding) per the MTD schedule — generating contribution files for direct portal submission with remittances due by the 15th of the following month. Omni HR maintains EPF, SOCSO, and EIS rate tables within the platform so payroll always reflects the latest statutory requirements without HR teams needing to update them manually.
