How EOR Malaysia Works

1. Scope & quote — role, location, start date, and benefits assumptions.

2. Offer & contract — compliant employment documentation under the EOR.

3. Onboarding — payroll setup, statutory registrations as applicable, bank details.

4. Monthly cycle — salary, deductions, payslips, filings support.

5. Scale or transition — add headcount or move to your own entity later.

EOR Malaysia FAQs

What is EOR in Malaysia?

An Employer of Record legally employs your worker in Malaysia on your behalf. You direct the work; we handle employment contracts, payroll, EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and PCB/LHDN, and statutory compliance.

How fast can I hire in Malaysia via EOR?

Typical onboarding is 2–4 weeks depending on role, documentation, and any work-pass requirements.

When should I use EOR vs payroll outsourcing in Malaysia?

Use EOR if you do not have a Malaysia entity. Use payroll outsourcing if you already employ staff under your own local company.

Can I transition from EOR to my own entity later?

Yes. EOR can be a bridge while you incorporate; we can support a planned transition when you are ready.

What does EOR pricing look like?

EOR is commonly priced per employee per month, plus salary and statutory costs pass-through. Request a Malaysia-specific quote for exact scope.
