The Master HR model
Payroll + HRIS + biometric attendance
Instead of buying separate tools and then connecting them manually, eligible payroll-service clients can receive the HRIS and biometric attendance device as part of the agreed package terms.
Monthly payroll deliverables
What information is needed, and what does your company receive?
Monthly payroll becomes easier to control when the client HR team knows the handover requirements and the finance team knows which final files it can expect. Deliverables and cut-offs are agreed before processing starts.
Review and final monthly outputs
- Salary calculation and payroll review file for client checks
- Employee payslips and payroll summaries
- Agreed salary bank-file preparation and supporting records
- EPF/ETF/APIT-related payroll calculations or reports within scope
Client approval is required before the final payroll output is released. Reporting format, turnaround times, implementation scope and additional HR operations are confirmed in the service agreement.

Why the connected model matters
Reduce separate systems, manual handovers and duplicate work.
Payroll accuracy depends on the quality of source data. By connecting employee records, attendance, leave, shifts, OT and approvals before payroll begins, Master HR creates a more controlled monthly process.
