Document background
The Employer Registration Certificate is a fundamental requirement for all businesses operating as employers in Malaysia. This document is mandated by Malaysian employment legislation and serves as official proof of an employer's registration with relevant authorities. The certificate must be obtained before a business can legally employ workers and must be renewed periodically as per regulatory requirements. It contains crucial information about the employer's identity, business operations, workforce size, and compliance with various statutory bodies including EPF, SOCSO, and EIS. The certificate is particularly important for demonstrating compliance during regulatory inspections, applying for foreign worker quotas, and participating in government tenders or contracts.
