3-Minute Payroll Method: How to Process Payroll Faster

Payroll processing is often one of the most time-consuming tasks for SMEs. Between calculating salaries, applying EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB deductions, and preparing payslips, many businesses spend hours every month just to complete payroll.

With modern payroll software like SQL Payroll, this entire process can be simplified into a fast, automated workflow. In fact, many businesses are now using the 3-minute payroll method to complete payroll quickly, accurately, and in full compliance with Malaysia statutory requirements.

Here’s how it works.

Step 1: Set Up Employee Information Once

Before running payroll, you only need to do a one-time setup in SQL Payroll.

Enter:

• Employee personal details
• Basic salary and allowances
• EPF, SOCSO, and EIS category
• Tax (PCB) information
• Bank account details

Once this is set up, the system will use this data automatically every month.

Step 2: Update Payroll Data

Next, update employee working data such as:

• Attendance records
• Overtime hours
• Leave (annual leave, unpaid leave, sick leave)
• Claims or allowances

Step 3: Click “Process Payroll”

This is the key step where the “3-minute” process happens.

With one click, SQL Payroll will automatically:

• Calculate gross salary
• Deduct EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and PCB
• Add overtime and allowances
• Adjust unpaid leave deductions
• Generate net salary for each employee

Step 4: Review and Confirm Payroll

Before finalizing, you can quickly:

• Check payroll summary
• Review deductions and net pay
• Make corrections if needed

Step 5: Generate Payslips and Reports

After approval, you can instantly generate:

• Employee payslips (PDF or email)
• EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB reports
• Monthly payroll summary
• Bank transfer file for salary payment
