Running a business in Malaysia isn’t easy—especially when it comes to managing employees, payroll, and statutory compliance. Many SMEs face challenges like:
Late nights manually preparing payslips.
Confusion over EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and PCB deductions.
Keeping track of leave balances and timesheets.
Preparing EA Forms or CP58 reports during submission season.
Let’s look at a real situation to see how the VL Payroll & HR Management System can make a difference.
The Business Challenge:
Imagine a growing trading company with 25 employees.
The HR & Accounts Executive, Aina, spends hours every month:
Collecting attendance sheets from supervisors.
Calculating overtime and unpaid leave manually.
Checking deduction rates on EPF & PCB tables.
Preparing payslips one by one in Word or Excel.
Chasing employees for confirmation when errors happen.
By the end of every payroll cycle, Aina is stressed, errors are common, and compliance deadlines feel like a burden.
The VL Solution:
When the company implemented the VL Payroll & HR Management System, the process transformed:
✅ Automated Calculations – Once Aina enters the employees’ basic salary and allowances, the system automatically calculates EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB, Zakat, and HRDF with full compliance to Malaysian regulations.
✅ Timesheet & Leave Integration – Overtime, lateness, annual leave, and medical leave from the timesheet flow directly into the payroll sheet. No double entry required.
✅ Professional Payslips – With one click, Aina generates bulk payslips in PDF, customized with the company logo, and emails them to staff instantly.
✅ Statutory Forms Ready – At year-end, EA Forms and CP58 reports are generated automatically, saving days of manual work.
✅ Dashboard Insights – The boss can view payroll costs, staff counts, and statutory contributions in a clear dashboard, helping with financial planning.
The Result:
Payroll preparation time reduced from 3 days to just 2 hours.
Errors in PCB & EPF deductions eliminated.
Employees received payslips on time every month.
HR and Finance had more time to focus on business growth instead of paperwork.
Aina no longer dreads payroll week—because the system does the heavy lifting.
