EPF Override

An EPF override lets you set a specific EPF (KWSP) contribution amount for an employee, instead of letting the system calculate it.

When to use it​

Almost never — the system already calculates EPF correctly using the official rates. Use an override only in a special case where you must record a different amount, for example following specific advice or an approved arrangement.

How to add it​

  1. In the menu, go to Payroll → Payroll Items → EPF Override.
  2. Choose the employee.
  3. Enter the EPF amount you want to use for the period.
  4. Click Save.

For that period, the system uses your amount instead of the calculated one.

warning

Only use an override if you are certain of the correct figure. A wrong EPF amount means wrong contributions for the employee and the employer, which then have to be corrected.

tip

If you just want the normal, correct EPF, do nothing — leave it to the system. Overrides are the exception, not the rule.
