Expand Your Business in Malaysia with the Right HR Solution

Expanding into Malaysia means navigating complex employment laws, managing local HR, and ensuring compliance. Whether it's payroll, onboarding, or HR management, choosing between a PEO and an EOR can impact your success. Glints TalentHub offers tailored PEO and EOR services to help you grow confidently in Malaysia.

What is a PEO (Professional Employer Organization)?

A PEO helps manage essential HR tasks like payroll, benefits, and compliance, allowing businesses in Malaysia to focus on growth. By partnering with a PEO, you can ensure your HR operations run smoothly without the need for an internal team.

Typically, a PEO covers the following:

Payroll management and tax filing

Employee benefits administration

Compliance with local employment laws

Employee onboarding and offboarding

HR support and employee dispute management

Workers' compensation and risk management

Challenges and limitations of PEOs in Malaysia

While a PEO provides substantial HR management support, there are challenges to consider:

Limited Legal Entity Support

A PEO helps manage HR, but it doesn't offer legal entity setup or comprehensive legal liability coverage

Flexibility Constraints

PEO services are limited in flexibility when it comes to quick expansion or legal hiring needs, as they only support existing teams and operations

Lack of Direct Hiring Capabilities

PEOs focus on managing existing employees and payroll but do not provide end-to-end recruitment or entity hiring solutions

Alternatives to PEO: Introduction to Employer of Record (EOR)

An EOR offers a broader solution for businesses looking to quickly hire and onboard talent in Malaysia without setting up a local legal entity. It's ideal for companies seeking a service that takes full ownership of legal and employment liabilities.

Why consider an EOR in Malaysia

An EOR can offer significant advantages over a PEO, especially in Malaysia's complex labor market. Key advantages include:

Full legal employer responsibility for employees

No need to establish a local entity

Quick hiring and onboarding process

Compliance with local labor laws

Cost-effective expansion option

Deciding between PEO and EOR

When should you choose a PEO or EOR? Consider these points:

Choose a PEO if:

You already have a legal entity in Malaysia and need HR management support

Your business requires assistance with payroll, benefits, and compliance

You want to streamline HR operations without creating a new entity

Choose an EOR if:

You don't have a legal entity in Malaysia and want to hire employees quickly

You prefer a solution that assumes full legal responsibility for employment

You need a simple, cost-effective way to expand without navigating entity setup
