Part A: Releasing EA & PCB II Forms To Employees

How to Access EA & PCB II Forms in BrioHR

For detailed instructions, refer to the following related articles:

1. Access and Manage Employee Payroll Documents: Payslips, EA Forms, and PCB II Forms
2. Send EA Forms to Resigned Employee via Email in BrioHR
3. Download EA Form for Employees with Multiple Payroll Centers

Important Checks Before Releasing the Forms

1.   Verify Payroll Data

Ensure all payroll values are accurate. The easiest way to cross-check is by using the Employee Payroll Report: Download Employee Payroll Report in BrioHR

2.   Confirm Company & Officer Information

Make sure the following details are completed correctly:

• Payroll Center > Settings > Registration Information

  • Officer's name
  • IC/Passport number
  • Position
  • Update Officer Details (Maklumat Pegawai) in EA Form and Form E
• Payroll Center > Settings > General Information
  • Name (this is the Company Name of the payroll center)
  • Address (this is the Company Address appearing on EA Form and Form E)

3.   Review Pay Item Mapping

• BrioHR default pay items are already mapped correctly to EA Form fields based on statutory requirements.

• If you have created custom pay items, ensure they are mapped to the correct EA Form fields.
• To review or update pay items, go to Payroll Center > Settings > Payroll Items > Search for Pay Item Name > Edit
  • Refer here for details: Correct Custom Pay Items Not Reflecting in EA Form
