Can Worksy handle multiple entities or subsidiaries under one group?

Yes. Worksy supports multi-entity setups (parent company + subsidiaries) under one group structure, so you can: Keep separate company settings (policies, payroll rules, leave types, public holidays) Run consolidated reporting at group level (headcount, attendance trends, cost summaries) Control who sees what across entities (HQ can view all, subsidiaries only their own) If you’re running shared services (HR/Payroll at HQ), this is basically the whole point.

What kind of approval workflows can we configure?

Worksy supports configurable approval flows for common HR actions (leave, claims, overtime, attendance edits, etc.). Typical options include: Single-step (Employee → Manager) Multi-step (Employee → Manager → HR → Finance) Conditional routing (e.g., amounts over RM X go to Finance; special leave goes to HR) Delegation / backup approvers (when approver is on leave) Role-based approvals (not tied to one named person, so workflows don’t break when staff resign) If your approvals currently live in WhatsApp and prayer, this will feel like civilisation.

How does Worksy ensure compliance with Malaysian regulations?

Worksy is designed with Malaysian HR realities in mind, including: Policy-based enforcement (leave, overtime, attendance rules, probation, entitlement rules as configured by your company) Audit trails for approvals and changes (who changed what, when, and why) Data controls (access restriction + retention/export support for HR documentation) Important (and honest): software can support compliance, but it can’t magically make bad HR policy legal. You still set your rules; Worksy helps you enforce them consistently and prove it happened.

Can we restrict access by department, region, or role?

Yes. Worksy supports granular access controls so you can segment by: Department (e.g., Sales HRBP only sees Sales) Region / branch / location (useful for multi-state ops) Role (Employee, Manager, HR, Payroll, Finance, Admin) Entity/subsidiary (if you’re running a group structure) Result: managers don’t “accidentally” browse payroll data like it’s Instagram.

We already have some systems in place. Can Worksy integrate?

Usually yes — depending on what you have and how modern it is.Common integration paths: Data import/export via CSV/Excel for initial sync and ongoing updates API-based integration (if your existing system supports APIs) Typical targets: accounting/payroll providers, biometric/attendance devices, ERP, or custom internal systems If the current system is “a legacy database + someone’s cousin’s Access file,” we can still work with it — just expect more elbow grease.

Do you offer migration service?

Yes. Migration can include: Importing employee profiles, org structure, job history Carrying over leave balances, entitlements, and policy setup Bringing in historical attendance/leave records (where feasible) Validation checks to avoid garbage-in-garbage-out Most migrations fail because the old data is messy, not because the new system is. We’ll tell you upfront what’s clean, what’s risky, and what needs manual decisions.

Worksy for Medium Business

Past spreadsheets. Not ready for a
six-month implementation.

At 50 to 200 people, HR stops being something one person can manage from a spreadsheet. But most platforms built for that size either assume you have a dedicated IT team, lock you into modules you don't need yet, or cost more than the problem they're solving. Worksy is modular, locally compliant, and built to run without a project team behind it.

Get Free Consultation

The gap between "too small for software" and "too big for spreadsheets" is where most HR teams get stuck.

At 20 people, a shared spreadsheet and a WhatsApp group can hold things together. By 60, it’s already straining. Leave balances don’t match. Payroll takes two days instead of two hours. Approvals happen over email with no record of who approved what. New hires wait a week before anyone sets them up properly.

The options don't line up either.

The instinct is to look for a system. But the options are either too basic to handle what you need now, or too complex for a team that doesn’t have a dedicated HRIS person to manage it. So HR keeps patching, and the manual work grows with the headcount instead of being replaced by it.

A system that matches where you are now and doesn't hold you back later.

Start with What You Need

Worksy is modular. Begin with payroll and leave, add attendance, claims, or performance when the team is ready. You're not paying for twelve modules on day one to use three.

No IT Team Required

The platform is cloud-based and managed by Worksy. There's no server to maintain, no installation to manage, and no dedicated IT resource needed to keep it running.

Malaysian Compliance Built In

Statutory submissions for EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and LHDN generate in the correct format. Payroll supports every Malaysian bank file format. The system is built for how Malaysian businesses actually file and report.

Self-Service That Takes Load Off HR

Employees check their own leave balances, download their own payslips, submit their own claims, and track their own attendance. The questions that used to go to HR get answered by the system instead.

Approval Workflows That Fit Your Structure

Set up multi-level approvals that match how your team actually makes decisions. As the org chart evolves, the workflows adjust with it.

Grows with the Team

What works at 50 people still works at 200. Add modules, add entities, add complexity as the business requires it, without migrating to a different platform.

Speak to HR Specialist

HR stops being the bottleneck and starts being the function it's supposed to be.

Payroll runs in hours instead of days. Leave and claims follow a policy the system enforces, not one HR has to police manually. Managers make decisions from data instead of memory. Employees get answers from the app instead of from HR's inbox.

The shift isn't dramatic. It's just that the operational weight that used to sit on one or two people now sits in a system. And the team that was buried in processing gets time back for hiring, development, and the work that actually shapes how the company grows.

Worksy is a cloud HRMS that can be customised to suit your Medium Business needs and keep existing workflows.

Your HR team has better things to do than chase spreadsheets.

A system that fits a mid-sized team shouldn’t take six months to set up or require a department to manage. Worksy is built to take the operational weight off HR from the first month, and to stay right as the team grows past it.
