This is a self-check, not an exam or a certificate.

Why check this now?

Find your gaps before an audit or a review does.

Contract labour fills gaps quickly, but unjustified headcount, unchecked agent fees and a poorly chosen contractor raise cost and risk. Managing labour supply against policy and the Employment Act 1955 keeps the decision defensible and the cost under control.

What does the assessment ask?

Rate each statement from Not yet to Always. These are the statements, by area.

Contract labour policy and procedure

  1. We have a written policy that says when contract labour may be used instead of direct hiring.
  2. Our procedure sets out who approves contract labour, how contractors are chosen and how they are monitored.
  3. I review the policy when the Employment Act 1955 or related rules on contractors for labour change.
  4. Line managers know the policy and follow it before they bring in contract workers.

Manpower requisition and costing

  1. Every request for contract labour comes with a written justification of the workload, duration and headcount.
  2. I check the justification against the approved headcount and budget before the request goes for approval.
  3. I compare the full cost of contract labour, including the contractor's fees, with the cost of hiring directly.
  4. I verify contractor invoices against attendance records and the agreed rates before payment.

Sourcing labour contractors

  1. Before engaging a contractor for labour, I confirm it is registered with the Labour Department as the Employment Act 1955 requires.
  2. I check the contractor's SSM registration, track record and references before shortlisting.
  3. I compare more than one contractor on written criteria such as rates, supply capacity and compliance record.
  4. Where foreign workers are supplied, I check that their work permits and documents are valid for our workplace.

Supply agreement and monitoring

  1. Each contractor has a signed agreement covering scope, rates, headcount, replacement and compliance duties.
  2. I check regularly that the contractor pays its workers' wages, EPF, SOCSO and EIS on time.
  3. I brief contract workers on our safety rules and workplace policies before they start.
  4. I review each contractor's supply performance and compliance before the agreement is renewed.

Frequently asked questions.

Short answers to what people ask first.

How is my score worked out?

You rate each statement from Not yet (0) to Always (3). Your score is the percentage of the maximum points, and your lowest scoring section shows which course to look at first.

Does a high score mean I am certified?

No. This is a self-check of your current practice, not part of the Certifyd Contract Labour Manager assessment. The certification is earned by completing its core courses and assessment.

Is this legal advice on contractor arrangements?

No. It is a practice self-check. Confirm current registration and liability rules with the Labour Department or your legal adviser.

Who is this Readiness Check for?

HR executives, HR managers and operations managers who request, cost or manage contract workers in Malaysia.

Is the Contract Labour Management Readiness Check free?

Yes. You can answer every statement and see your readiness band without signing up. Your email is asked for only if you want the detailed report and the PDF checklist.

Do you store my answers?

Not until you ask for your report. Until then your answers stay in this browser. After you confirm your email, they are kept with your report and you can delete them from any email we send.

What happens after the assessment?

Your report recommends one next step: the core course for your weakest area, or the full certification when you are ready.
