5 Key Benefits of Using an Employer of Record (EOR) for Foreign Companies in Malaysia

Expanding your business into Malaysia presents exciting opportunities, but navigating local employment laws, payroll regulations, and compliance requirements can be overwhelming for foreign companies. Setting up a legal entity can be time-consuming, costly, and complex, especially for businesses looking for a quick market entry.

This is where an Employer of Record (EOR) solution can help. With an EOR, foreign businesses can hire employees in Malaysia without the need for entity registration. At Amaze Advisory, we provide expert EOR services tailored to international companies, ensuring a smooth and fully compliant hiring process.

Here are the top 5 benefits of using an Employer of Record (EOR) in Malaysia.

1. Fast Market Entry Without Setting Up a Legal Entity

Setting up a subsidiary or local entity in Malaysia requires extensive paperwork, regulatory approvals, and ongoing compliance obligations. This process can take months and significantly delay your expansion plans.

With an EOR like Amaze Advisory, you can hire employees immediately without the need for entity registration. Our established local presence allows you to onboard talent quickly and start operations without administrative delays.

  • Hire employees in Malaysia within days, not months
  • No need for company registration or legal entity setup
  • Avoid complex bureaucracy and compliance hurdles

2. Full Compliance with Malaysian Employment Laws

Malaysia has strict labor laws, payroll regulations, and statutory contributions that all employers must follow. Non-compliance can result in heavy penalties, legal disputes, and reputational damage.

As your EOR partner, Amaze Advisory ensures compliance with Malaysia’s employment regulations, covering:

  • Payroll processing & tax deductions (EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB)
  • Employment contracts aligned with local labor laws
  • Work permits & visa support for expatriates
  • Adherence to statutory benefits & leave entitlements

With Amaze Advisory, you can operate with peace of mind, knowing your business is fully compliant with Malaysian labor laws.

3. Cost Savings & Reduced Administrative Burden

Setting up a local entity means ongoing administrative costs, corporate tax compliance, HR management, and payroll processing expenses. For businesses testing the Malaysian market, these costs can be a major financial burden.

Using an EOR service eliminates these overhead costs, allowing you to:

  • Avoid setup costs for a local entity
  • Reduce HR and payroll management expenses
  • Scale your workforce efficiently without administrative hassle

At Amaze Advisory, we handle everything from payroll processing and tax filings to employee benefits and compliance, so you can focus on growing your business instead of managing administrative complexities.

4. Seamless Payroll & Benefits Administration

Managing payroll, employee benefits, and statutory contributions in Malaysia can be challenging, especially for companies unfamiliar with local regulations. Payroll errors or non-compliance with tax laws can lead to penalties and employee dissatisfaction.

With Amaze Advisory’s EOR services, we take care of:

  • Monthly payroll processing & salary disbursement
  • EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and income tax (PCB) deductions
  • HR support & employee records management

By outsourcing payroll to an EOR, you ensure accurate and timely payments, keeping your workforce happy while maintaining full compliance.

5. Risk Reduction During Expansion

Hiring employees in Malaysia without a proper legal structure can expose your business to compliance risks, labor disputes, and financial liabilities. Partnering with Amaze Advisory reduces risks by:

  • Handling employment contracts in compliance with Malaysian labor laws
  • Managing employee disputes & termination procedures

With an EOR, your company is protected from risks, ensuring a secure and compliant expansion into Malaysia.
