“The great thing about Employment Hero is the fact that I’m not having to think about a lot of the things I was in the past with payroll, about compliance, about leave, etc. It allows me to focus on other parts of the business that are more important for growth.”

FAQs

What is the HRD Corp Claimable Courses Grant?

The HRD Corp Claimable Courses Grant is a programme that lets employers make use of the Human Resources Development Fund (HRDF) levy for employee skills development. Eligible SMEs can offset their employee training costs as long as the training course is relevant to their business operations.

Why is Employment Hero a HRD Corp registered training provider?

Employment Hero has officially been approved as a registered training provider by HRD Corp. Companies and organisations that are HRD Corp Registered Training Providers can act as a Training Vendor to HRD Corp Registered Employers. That means eligible SMEs can claim up to 100% of their training costs for Employment Hero’s all-in-one HR and payroll software, offsetting the costs with their HRDF levy balance.

Can unlisted vendors who are not approved by HRD Corp participate?

No, unlisted vendors who are not approved by HRD Corp participate cannot participate in the HRD Corp Claimable Courses Grant. This grant requires businesses to work with HRD Corp vendors to ensure the quality and reliability of the training provided.

HRD Corp’s assessment process involves vetting training vendors to ensure they meet specific standards and criteria. This verifies that they are competent and skilled in their area of specialisation, and that they are best equipped to provide quality training for professional development.

Is there a limit for the HRD Corp Claimable Courses Grant?

Yes, there is. The amount claimable depends on a business entity’s HRDF levy balance. In addition, according to the PSMB Act 2001, if the HRDF levy is not utilised within two (2) years, any levy amount above RM10,000 is forfeited.

What happens when my HRDF levy balance has been exhausted?

If your organisation’s HRDF levy balance has been exhausted, it will no longer be eligible to receive further funding for additional training until the fund balance has been replenished. You should carefully plan your HRDF levy utilisation to maximise the benefit within fund limits. If additional funding is needed beyond your HRDF levy balance, you will need to explore other grants or financing options.

How long will it take for my training grant application to be processed?

According to HRD Corp’s employer guidelines, all training grant applications will be processed within four (4) working days provided the documents submitted are complete. Letters of approval will be sent to employers via email after the claims have been approved.

What is the processing time for claims disbursement?

Claim disbursements take up to eight (8) working days to process.

How will the HRD Corp Claimable Courses Grant disbursement take place?

The funds will be disbursed through the e-Disbursement system. You can register for e-Disbursement through the e-TRiS platform.
