HRMS for startups to enterprise in Malaysia
From employee management and attendance to Malaysian payroll and statutory contributions, BukuHR helps startups, growth companies, corporate teams and enterprises run people operations with greater clarity and control.
BukuHR is a Malaysia-first Human Resource Management System (HRMS) that helps startups, growth companies, corporate teams and enterprises manage employees, leave, attendance, payroll and HR approvals in one platform.
It is designed around how Malaysian businesses actually run HR: payroll that handles EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB and HRDF, payslips and bank exports, plus the everyday work of people records, leave, attendance, claims and overtime. It is not a global HR tool adapted for Malaysia. BukuHR is built for early-stage teams through multi-branch and enterprise organisations, and it is browser-based, so there is nothing to install.

The problem
When employee data, leave, attendance and payroll live in different places, every month starts with reconciliation. BukuHR connects them so each process feeds the next.
Employee records scattered across spreadsheets
One employee record behind every process
Profiles, branches, departments and positions in one place.
Leave requests handled through messages
Leave applications with balances and approvals
Working days calculated, team calendar kept current.
Manual attendance checking
Clock-in, live attendance and late reports
See who is in without chasing anyone.
Complicated payroll preparation
Payruns built for EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB and HRDF
Approve, lock, then issue payslips and bank files.
Disconnected claims and overtime
Approved claims and overtime flow into payroll
Nothing re-typed into a spreadsheet.
Missing visibility over HR approvals
Every pending request in one approval inbox
Managers and HR see what is waiting and for whom.
The platform
Each area stands on its own and shares the same employee record, so what happens in one part carries through to the rest.
People management
Keep profiles, structure and paperwork together, so approvals, attendance and payroll all follow the same organisation.
Leave and attendance
Leave balances and working days calculate themselves. Attendance shows up live, with late reports ready when you need them.
GPS attendance and geofencing: Professional Enterprise
Malaysian payroll
Process salary, include approved claims and overtime, calculate statutory contributions, then approve, lock and pay.
Available on Professional and above
Approvals and self-service
Employees help themselves. Managers approve in one step. HR and administrators keep control with role-based access.

Process payroll
Create the payrun and calculate pay for every employee.
Calculate statutory contributions
EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB and HRDF are applied where they are relevant.
Approve and lock payroll

Roles
The people who use HR software are not the same people. BukuHR shows each role what they need and nothing they do not.
Employees apply for leave, check balances, clock in, read policies and download payslips from one place that works in a phone browser.
Managers see who is in, who is away and what is waiting for approval, without chasing messages or opening spreadsheets.
HR keeps records accurate, policies acknowledged, leave and attendance rules applied and, on Professional, payroll processed from the same data.
Multi-branch businesses can give each branch administrator the access needed to keep that branch's people records and attendance in order.
Directors and business owners get a clear view of headcount, attendance, approvals and payroll, and Enterprise adds analytics dashboards and audit logs.
