Attendance software for Malaysian SMEs
Clock-ins, overtime, and rest-day work linked to EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and PCB payroll
Direct answer
Attendance software in Malaysia should capture clock-ins, overtime, and rest-day work in one place and flow into payroll for EPF/SOCSO/EIS/PCB — HavaHR links attendance to Malaysian payroll so month-end is not a manual merge job, with plans from RM49/month and a 14-day trial.
Teams search for attendance software when WhatsApp clock-ins, paper timesheets, or a standalone clock system no longer reconcile with payroll. Integrated attendance reduces OT disputes and statutory errors at month-end.
