When you are ready to transition

Many companies use MalayHire as a bridge while they incorporate a local Malaysian entity. Once your entity is registered and ready to employ staff, MalayHire can support a smooth handover of employment. We recommend initiating the transition process at least 30 days before your target date to allow time for contract re-issuance and statutory transfers.

The transition process

The typical steps are:

• Notify MalayHire of your intention to transition and the target date
• Your new entity issues a fresh employment contract to the employee, which the employee signs
• MalayHire terminates the existing employment relationship — this is a mutual termination and does not trigger redundancy entitlements provided it is handled correctly
• EPF, SOCSO, and EIS registrations are transferred to your new entity's employer number
• MalayHire issues a final payslip and any outstanding statutory filings are completed
• Your entity takes over payroll from the agreed date

MalayHire will provide guidance throughout. The employee's continuity of service is preserved in the new contract to protect their statutory entitlements.
