Rig-to-payslip in 72 hours. Full DOSH + LHDN + EPF + SOCSO + HRDF compliance. Purpose-built for offshore rotations, contractor workforces, and multi-entity O&G operators.
Payroll is the #1 operational pain point for Malaysian O&G operators. Not drilling. Not logistics. Payroll. Here is why — and how much it costs every month:
Industry benchmark (Deloitte O&G 2024): paper timesheets on offshore platforms under-capture OT, miss offshore-day triggers, and double-pay contractor lines. On a RM 60M annual wage bill, that is RM 4.8M – RM 7.2M vanishing every year.
Union grievances. Refinery stop-work threats. Tribunals at Jabatan Tenaga Kerja. Every disputed OT line drags HR, legal, and ops supervisors for days.
Section 60A + DOSH guidance cap max working hours. Manual spreadsheets miss breaches. Fines reach RM 50K per offence and stop-work orders halt production.
Direct hires on SAP. Contractors on Excel. Third-party crews on paper. IR35-style misclassification risk is growing — LHDN audits now cross-check EPF + SOCSO + invoice patterns.
Malaysian payroll law is prescriptive and enforced. These are the current statutory fines for common O&G payroll failures:
| Regulation | Violation | Fine / Penalty |
|---|---|---|
| Employment Act 1955 · S.60A(4) | Failure to pay correct overtime (1.5x/2x/3x) | Up to RM 50,000 per offence; RM 1,000/day continuing |
| Employment Act 1955 · S.19 | Late wage payment (>7 days after period end) | Up to RM 50,000 per worker affected |
| EPF Act 1991 · S.43(2) | Failure to remit EPF contributions on time | Up to RM 10,000 + imprisonment up to 3 years + 6% p.a. dividend |
| SOCSO Act 1969 · S.94 | Non-registration / non-contribution | Up to RM 10,000 + imprisonment up to 2 years |
| EIS Act 2017 · S.77 | Failure to contribute EIS | Up to RM 10,000 + imprisonment up to 2 years |
| Income Tax Act 1967 · S.107(4) | Failure to deduct/remit PCB | RM 200 – RM 20,000 per non-deduction + imprisonment up to 6 months |
| OSHA 1994 · S.15 | DOSH working-hours / fatigue breach | Up to RM 50,000 + imprisonment up to 2 years |
| HRDF Act 2001 · S.13 | Failure to pay 1% levy | Up to RM 10,000 + 10% surcharge |
| PDPA 2010 · S.5 | Worker personal-data breach / no consent | Up to RM 300,000 + imprisonment up to 2 years |
We did not bolt payroll onto a general HR system. We built a payroll engine from scratch, specifically for Malaysian oil & gas operations. Six pillars:
Kiosk + badge + biometric — zero paper, sub-second capture. Feeds straight to the earnings engine.
Basic, OT, offshore, standby, shift differential, meal, travel, fatigue pay — codified in Malaysian law + your CBA.
EPF · SOCSO · EIS · PCB · HRDF · Form EA · Borang-E · CP8D — auto-generated, auto-filed.
Onshore, offshore, yard, FPSO, joint-venture entities — consolidated in one payroll ledger.
Rules engine flags misclassification risk before a pay run closes — no IR35-style disputes.
WhatsApp + email + worker portal. Delivery confirmation logged for audit. Works in Bahasa Melayu.
Every feature below is production-grade, deployed at live Malaysian O&G sites. Not roadmap. Not beta. Shipping today.
Every statutory obligation for a Malaysian O&G employer is handled — computed, filed, and logged:

Custom pricing based on your worker count, site complexity, and integration scope. Kiosk hardware included in Enterprise and above.
Single-site pilot. One rig, one pay entity. Ideal before fleet roll-out.
Multi-rig, multi-entity. Dedicated success manager. Most O&G contractors land here.
FPSOs, drilling fleets, JVs, cross-border entities. Private cloud or on-prem available.
Most Malaysian payroll system migrations take 6–9 months. Ours takes 6 weeks. Here is the week-by-week plan:
Payroll data is the most sensitive data in an O&G company — IC numbers, salaries, bank accounts, biometrics. Our security posture:
Formal ISMS, quarterly internal audits, annual third-party assessment. Certification in progress (target Q3 2026).
Consent management, retention schedules, cross-border disclosure register, breach-notification workflow (72h).
AES-256 at rest (database + object storage) · TLS 1.3 in transit · envelope-encrypted secrets via HashiCorp Vault.
Every payroll event + approval signed and written to append-only ledger. 7-year retention per LHDN requirements.
Primary region: AWS ap-southeast-3 (Jakarta) and AWS ap-southeast-5 (Kuala Lumpur) · hot replica in Singapore for DR only.
SSO via Azure AD / Okta / Google Workspace · mandatory MFA · role matrix enforced end-to-end.
Fingerprint templates hashed with per-device salt, never stored as images. Face embeddings non-reversible.
RPO < 15 min · RTO < 60 min · quarterly DR drills · Tapis-ready offline kiosk mode for rig isolation events.
420 workers across one onshore yard in Kemaman and three FPSO assets off the Terengganu coast. Timesheets captured on paper by deck supervisors, emailed as PDF scans to a KL back office, then re-keyed into an ageing in-house Access database. Monthly payroll cycle: 9 working days. OT disputes: 40–60 per cycle. LHDN in 2024 issued 12 findings on missing PCB remittances totalling RM 78,400 in penalties. A union grievance over rest-day pay misclassification cost RM 210,000 in back-pay settlements.
Week 1: discovery + yard kiosk install. Week 2: SAP SuccessFactors connector live + LHDN e-PCB integration. Week 3: parallel run showed 99.7% parity with legacy. Week 4: cutover — first live pay run on MOVO-X, submitted LHDN CP39 and KWSP Borang-i automatically. Weeks 5–6: rule tuning for FPSO-specific standby pay and helicopter-delay compensation.
“We ran paper timesheets for 14 years. Switching to MOVO-X in six weeks was the single biggest operational improvement I’ve signed off on as CFO. The LHDN audit was the easiest we’ve ever had.”
We compete against global giants and local specialists. Here is how we win:
Native Malaysian rule pack — no 6-month localization project. Kiosk-native for remote rigs.
Global core requires heavy localization; weak offshore rotation support; 9–14 month implementation.
Modern cloud stack, real-time pay calc, <4 week go-live. WhatsApp payslip built-in.
On-prem-first, batch-oriented, end-of-life migrations forced onto Fusion mid-project.
Built for industrial + offshore. Multi-entity, CBA rule packs, 500+ worker scale, SAP integration.
SME-focused. Break down at multi-site. No O&G domain model. No offshore allowances out-of-the-box.
100% automated. Zero spreadsheet. Auto-filed with government. Audit trail by design.
8–12% leakage. Human error risk. LHDN / EPF penalties common. No audit trail.
