Hire Payroll Specialist from Malaysia with FastLaneRecruit

From salary processing and statutory contributions (EPF, SOCSO, EIS) to cross-border compliance and reporting, we help businesses hire skilled Malaysian payroll specialists who operate as an extension of your internal HR or finance department. Our offshore payroll specialist services are ideal for companies seeking accurate, compliant, and cost-efficient payroll operations.
Why Malaysian Payroll Specialists Stand Out
Build a Cost-Effective Offshore Payroll Team in Malaysia
Malaysia offers a skilled talent pool of payroll professionals trained in Malaysian Employment Act, EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and PCB (Monthly Tax Deduction). With FastLaneRecruit, you’re building a dependable team that can support local and regional payroll compliance, including Singapore CPF, Hong Kong MPF, and U.S. FICA requirements.
English Fluency & Regional Expertise
Malaysian payroll specialists are fluent in English and possess hands-on experience with multi-country payroll systems. Many have worked with MNCs and are familiar with payroll platforms like SAP, ADP, and PayAsia.
End-to-End Payroll Talent
Our outsourced payroll speicialists are experienced in: Monthly salary calculations and disbursements, Statutory contributions (EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB), Payroll tax filings and reconciliations and Payroll software administration (e.g., InfoTech, SQL, Talenox).
Not Just Processors — Payroll Partners
We help you build payroll teams that contribute strategically — not just administratively. From compliance updates to improving payroll efficiency, your offshore payroll specialist works proactively with your HR and finance leaders.
Trusted by Regional & Global Companies
Malaysian payroll professionals support startups, SMEs, and global enterprises across APAC, including Singapore, Australia, and the U.S. They offer high accuracy, reliable turnaround, and regulatory compliance to reduce your payroll risks.
