FAQ

What are the mandatory deductions for employees in Malaysia?

The mandatory deductions include the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), Social Security Organization (SOCSO) contributions, and the Employment Insurance System (EIS). Monthly Tax Deduction (PCB) is also required for employees whose income exceeds the taxable threshold.

How often must a payslip be provided?

Under the Employment Act 1955, an employer is required to provide a statement of account (payslip) to the employee at the time of payment of wages, detailing the gross and net amounts, as well as any deductions made.

Do I need to include the employer's contribution on the payslip?

While not strictly mandatory to display on the employee's copy, it is considered a best practice for transparency to include a section showing the employer's portion of EPF, SOCSO, and EIS contributions.
