Adding additional remuneration payments to a pay run

Updated

When an employee receives additional remuneration payment, such as a bonus, admin needs to ensure the employer's EPF contribution for the payment is calculated in accordance with KWSP.

For example, for an employee who is Malaysian citizen, below 60 years old and receives monthly wages of RM5,000.00 or below; upon receiving a bonus renders the wages received for that month to exceed RM5,000.00; the employer’s EPF contribution will be calculated at the rate of 13%.

In addition to EPF, admin also need to ensure PCB formula for Additional Remuneration is applied. To ensure correct tax and EPF calculation for an additional remuneration payment, admin can follow below steps to configure a pay category and then add the pay category in pay run.
