The Monthly Payroll Process – How It Works
Antasis runs a structured monthly payroll cycle for each client. Here’s what the process looks like:
Step | Action | Who Does It | Timeline |
1 | Submit payroll data – hours, leaves, claims, new hires, resignations | Client | By agreed cut-off date |
2 | Antasis processes payroll – all calculations, deductions, and statutory contributions | Antasis | Within 2 business days |
3 | Draft payroll report sent to client for review and approval | Antasis → Client | 3 days before payroll date |
4 | Client approves – Antasis finalises and generates all payslips | Client + Antasis | Payroll date |
5 | CPF/EPF/SOCSO/EIS contributions submitted to government portals | Antasis | Within statutory deadlines |
6 | Monthly payroll summary and variance report delivered to client | Antasis | Post-payroll |
You always approve before anything is processed. Antasis never transfers funds or files contributions without client sign-off. You retain full control – they handle the complexity. |
