An Employer of Record (EOR) provides a local employment arrangement for a company hiring in another market. In Malaysia, this can help your business start hiring while the EOR coordinates employment administration and applicable local requirements.
XpatMobi supports each stage of the employee journey, from localized documents and payroll to the eventual move to your own employer setup. The right scope depends on the role, worker’s status, business activity and applicable approvals.
When your company is ready to employ its Malaysia team directly, we can support employer registrations and plan the transfer from EOR to your own payroll. This may involve EPF, SOCSO, EIS, LHDN, benefits and immigration coordination, depending on the employees and the new employing entity.
