Thrive in one of the most competitive markets in Asia using our leading PEO services in Malaysia
With a culture based on cutting-edge technology, successful service industries and a multinational make up, Malaysia has become one of Asia's fastest developing and emerging countries. As a leading exporter of gas, electronic parts, automotive parts as well as a successful global player in technology, SAAs and financial sectors, Malaysia is a diverse business landscape making it a key target for expanding businesses.
Despite this, expanding into Malaysia poses many challenges for businesses. Firstly, all foreign employees looking to work in Malaysia must obtain a valid pass or work visa before they begin work with different visas issued for different job types and skills.
In addition to strict work permits, businesses in Malaysia must also follow Malaysian employment law. Governed by the 1955 Employment Act, Malaysian employment law contains numerous regulations that international businesses must comply with, including:
- Employees must not work over 48 hours a week with any overtime paid at 1.5 times the base salary
- Employment contracts must include a job description, compensation details, termination requirements and severance pay. An employment contract must also be written in both English and Malay.
- It is standard practice for employees to receive 13th-month pay and discretionary bonuses
- Employers cannot restrict an employee's right to join unions
- Both employees and employers must contribute to the Social Security Organization and the Employees Provident Fund which provides disability, retirement, medical payments, and survivors’ benefits. Contributions vary depending on employee age.
- Annual leave, sick leave and maternity leave vary depending on the length of employment.
The Employment Act contains regulations for the majority of Malaysian employees. However, there are some employees who the Employment Act does not cover. Instead, these employees and their employers should instead follow the regulations set out in their employment contracts, although the majority still choose to use the Employment Act as guidance.
The combination of employment regulations and work visas makes expansion into Malaysia a challenging affair. This is where our expert PEO services come in.
