Malaysia Expansion Advice

How can our EOR services support your expansion into Malaysia?

With a culture based on successful service industries, a multi-national make up and cutting-edge technology it is perhaps no wonder that Malaysia has become one of Asia’s fastest developing countries. This, combined with its status as a leading exporter of gas, electronics, automotive parts and a global player in technology, financial sectors and SAAs, are what have made Malaysia a key location for expanding businesses. 

While Malaysia’s diverse business landscape may be attractive for growing businesses, the 1955 Malaysian Employment Act contains numerous regulations that international businesses must comply with, including: 

  • Employees must not work over 48 hours a week.
  • Any overtime must be 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.
  • Employees should 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. This provides disability, retirement, medical payments, and survivors’ benefits. Contributions vary depending on employee age.
  • Annual leave, sick leave and maternity leave can vary depending on the length of employment.

As well as the above employment regulations, all foreign employees must obtain a valid work visa or pass before they begin work in Malaysia, a process made all the more complex due to different visas being issued for different skills and job types.

Meanwhile, businesses must establish a subsidiary in order to conduct business in Malaysia, a process that is complex and costly as well as extending your time to market. As your employer of record, we navigate Malaysian employment laws and visa requirements on your behalf. Therefore, you can focus on reaping the benefits of Malaysia’s growing business markets without the complexities of a legal entity. 

Your recruitment and PEO partner in Malaysia

As well as the legal implications of expanding into Malaysia, there are also cultural guidelines that are best followed in this multinational country.  By acting as your recruitment and PEO partner in Malaysia, Leap29 can help you navigate both the legal and cultural best practices in this emerging country. 

Firstly, by acting as your Professional Employer Organisation, we can support your expansion without you needing to establish a legal entity in Malaysia. This means you can be reassured that regulations set out in the Employment Act have been met while you focus on your business growth. 

Secondly, with an office and team based in Malaysia, we can advise on cultural practices, such as not setting meetings on Fridays, the Muslim day of prayer, or appropriate interactions for each of Malaysia’s diverse cultures, allowing you to respect the country’s cultural nuances and therefore succeed in building solid business relationships. 

Best-value PEO services in Malaysia

The Malaysian Employment Act and its regulations largely affect employment contracts, taxes, benefits, visa applications, payroll and insurances. To ensure compliance, and successful employee management and onboarding, in-depth knowledge of regulations are paramount in Malaysia.

At Leap29, we can manage the employment of your international hires taking all of the above intricacies off your shoulders. This means you can compliantly enjoy the benefits of Malaysia’s strong economy and developing business landscape without setting up a legal entity or struggling with compliance. 

Payroll services in Malaysia

Using advanced technology, our payroll services ensure that your employees in Malaysia are paid accurately and on time. As with all of our services, we can tailor our payroll solutions to your individual requirements, adapting to your company and taking the stress and liability of payroll off your shoulders.

Leap29 played a critical role in helping us navigate a challenging situation during our acquisition by Gilde Buy Out Partners. They were instrumental in onboarding over 60 employees from Columbus onto our team, with a flexible benefits package that addressed their individual requirements. Leap29 also assisted us in managing the growth of our workforce in India. Thanks to Leap29's support, we were able to increase our headcount in India by over 50% within 12 months and establish our own operation in the country. We are grateful for their partnership and look forward to working with them again in the future."

The assistance of Leap29 allowed our company to build a successful team in India without the hassle of establishing our own entity. They provided excellent support from the onboarding process to setting up medical insurance and ensuring all taxation issues were managed in a compliant manner. We were particularly impressed with their responsiveness to any bespoke requests and that the administration of salary payments and benefits were extremely sufficient and always on time. Their professionalism and commitment to regulatory compliance was exceptional, and we could not have done it without their support.
