Statutory contributions
EPF
| Column | What to enter |
|---|---|
| EPF contribution | Options: Yes or No. |
| EPF category | Options: Non related, or Category A to F (see below). |
| EPF number | The employee's EPF number. |
| EPF custom rate type | Default (employee 11%, employer 12%/13%), Rate, or Value. Default is the one most commonly chosen. |
| EPF custom mode | Only if you chose Rate: Extend or Overwrite. Extend adds your custom rate on top of the standard table (use it when the standard table has no 11% rate for the employee). Overwrite replaces the standard percentage when the employee or employer wants to contribute more. See the linked article for examples. |
| EPF employee custom rate | The percentage the employee wishes to contribute, if you chose a custom rate. |
| EPF employer custom rate | The percentage the employer wishes to contribute, if you chose a custom rate. |
The custom rate type options work like this: Default uses the standard KWSP rates. Rate means a percentage the employee or employer wants to contribute. Value means an exact amount, regardless of salary.

Payroll history reports
There is no template for this. Send your IM the payroll reports for every completed payroll month this year, from January up to your most recent completed month. Include every employee, including anyone who has resigned this year. Each report should show, per employee, their earnings, deductions and statutory contributions (EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB) for that month. If your previous payroll system can export these, send the export as it is instead of retyping it.
