Hiring contractors in Malaysia can be a rollercoaster
While Malaysia is home to a booming population of talented freelancers, hiring contractors there can be tough if you don’t know your way around Malaysian labor laws. First, you need to make sure you’re classifying your workers correctly—usually by determining whether they have a contract for services or a contract of services. Then, you may still need to submit tax forms on their behalf, depending on where you’re based—even though they’re responsible for filing and paying their own taxes. But with Rippling, you can expand your global team quickly and compliantly.
