How to Hire Pakistani Employees in Malaysia
To hire employees from Pakistan for Malaysia positions smoothly and compliantly, understand key considerations of cross-border recruitment practices, and ongoing statutory obligations.
Cost of Hiring Employees in Malaysia
The cost of hiring in Malaysia varies by role, industry, and experience level. Below, we provide average salary ranges and compliance requirements to help guide your hiring decisions.
Outline Job Requirements: Clearly outline job specifications including role responsibilities, required qualifications, technical skills, and minimum salary that meets Employment Pass thresholds for professional roles. Verify your company’s foreign worker quota availability with relevant immigration authorities, ensure your organization is registered to hire foreign professionals, and prepare justification demonstrating local talent unavailability for the role.
Average Monthly Salary: Salaries in Malaysia vary by industry and seniority. Technology professionals earn MYR 5,000-7,000 (junior level) to MYR 8,000-12,000 (senior level), finance roles range from MYR 5,500-8,000 (junior) to MYR 10,000-15,000 (senior), while healthcare professionals receive MYR 4,000-6,000. These rates represent 300-400% higher compensation than comparable Pakistan market salaries, making positions highly attractive to top Pakistani talent
Source and Screen Candidates: Partner with recruitment specialists in Pakistan for Malaysia who maintain pre-screened candidate databases and understand both markets. Conduct comprehensive background screening covering education credentials (authenticated directly with Pakistani universities), employment history verification, professional references, and technical skills assessments to ensure candidate quality before interviews. This reduces time-to-hire compared to direct sourcing while preventing application rejections due to incomplete documentation.
Employment Pass Fees: Employers hiring Pakistani professionals pay Employment Pass work visa fees through Malaysia’s Expatriate Services Division (ESD) online portal. Category II Employment Pass, most common for professional roles, requires minimum monthly salary of MYR 5,000. Processing fees vary by pass category and duration. Pakistani candidates must undergo mandatory FOMEMA medical examination within 30 days of arrival, costing approximately MYR 200-250. Processing typically takes 4-6 weeks with complete documentation.
Prepare Documentation: Ensure candidates obtain required document authentication in Pakistan before Employment Pass submission, including apostille certification from Ministry of Foreign Affairs for educational certificates, certified English translations of all documents, and passport validity of minimum 18 months. Working with recruitment specialists who handle Pakistan-side attestation through Malaysian High Commission reduces document preparation time from 3-4 weeks to 10-14 days while ensuring compliance with Malaysia’s specific requirements for Pakistani nationals.
Social Security Contributions: Employers in Malaysia contribute to social security through the Employees Provident Fund (EPF) and the Social Security Organization (SOCSO). For Pakistani employees and other non-Malaysian citizens, both employers and employees contribute 2% each to EPF. SOCSO contributions cover work-related injuries and occupational diseases, with employer contributions of approximately 1.25% and employee contributions of 0.5% based on salary. Employees can withdraw their EPF savings when leaving Malaysia permanently, providing a repatriation benefit.
