Kakitangan.com

SQL Payroll

Tier S · Recommended

LHDN-verified Malaysian payroll with auto EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB and HRDF

The dominant Malaysia-only payroll incumbent, paired with the widely-deployed SQL Account. Strong with accountants and traditional SMEs wanting a locally-certified system, and heavily reseller-distributed.

Pros

+ Uses LHDN's own PCB calculator engine
+ Complete Malaysian statutory form coverage
+ Massive local support/reseller network

Cons

− Malaysia-only
− Dated UI vs modern SaaS
− Pricing not transparent (quote/reseller)
− Best value bundled with SQL Account

Malaysia note

Uses the official LHDN PCB calculator for 100%-matched MTD and generates the full statutory pack (EPF Borang A, SOCSO Borang 2/3/8A, EIS, Form EA, Borang E/CP8D, CP39/CP22) with text-file exports for KWSP/PERKESO/LHDN and bank uploads.

Typical Malaysia pricing: Not published; commonly from ~RM799 one-time via reseller.
