“The great thing about Employment Hero is that I just don’t have to think about HR anymore. It is how businesses should be run.”

Amir Al Idrus, Head of Operations, Journey Indoor Cycling Studio

“The great thing about Employment Hero is the fact that I’m not having to think about a lot of the things I was in the past with payroll, about compliance, about leave, etc. It allows me to focus on other parts of the business that are more important for growth.”

Michael Wilson, Founder and Director

“Reporting for the Society’s board is now much easier with the platform — the reports are accessible, and can be generated in just a few clicks. Tracking expenses, annual leave, performance and training progress and more has become so much easier now with an all-in-one digital platform.”

Julian Wong, Chairman

“As a growing company with a lean team, the amount of manual work involved was unsustainable. Thankfully, Employment Hero helped us simplify employee rostering and streamlined our processes. Payslips are now created with just a press of a button.”

Susanna Ng, Executive Administrator, POSH Nail Spa

FAQs

The HRD Corp Claimable Courses Grant is a programme that lets employers make use of the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) levy for employee skills development. Eligible SMEs can offset their employee training costs as long as the training course is relevant to their business operations.

Employment Hero has officially been approved as a registered training provider by HRD Corp. Companies and organisations that are HRD Corp Registered Training Providers can act as a Training Vendor to HRD Corp Registered Employers. That means eligible SMEs can claim up to 100% of their training costs for Employment Hero’s all-in-one HR and payroll software, offsetting the costs with their HRDF levy balance.

No, unlisted vendors who are not approved by HRD Corp participate cannot participate in the HRD Corp Claimable Courses Grant. This grant requires businesses to work with HRD Corp vendors to ensure the quality and reliability of the training provided.

HRD Corp’s assessment process involves vetting training vendors to ensure they meet specific standards and criteria. This verifies that they are competent and skilled in their area of specialisation, and that they are best equipped to provide quality training for professional development.

Yes, there is. The amount claimable depends on a business entity’s HRDF levy balance. In addition, according to the PSMB Act 2001, if the HRDF levy is not utilised within two (2) years, any levy amount above RM10,000 is forfeited.

If your organisation’s HRDF levy balance has been exhausted, it will no longer be eligible to receive further funding for additional training until the fund balance has been replenished. You should carefully plan your HRDF levy utilisation to maximise the benefit within fund limits. If additional funding is needed beyond your HRDF levy balance, you will need to explore other grants or financing options.

According to HRD Corp’s employer guidelines, all training grant applications will be processed within four (4) working days provided the documents submitted are complete. Letters of approval will be sent to employers via email after the claims have been approved.

Claim disbursements take up to eight (8) working days to process.
