HRD Corp levy
Definition
The HRD Corp levy is a contribution that covered Malaysian employers pay to HRD Corp, building a fund employers can use for approved employee training.
Who pays the HRD Corp levy?
Employers in the industries and size bands covered by the law register with HRD Corp and pay the levy based on their employees' wages. Check the current coverage rules and rate on the HRD Corp site before you budget.
Can the levy pay for Certifyd courses?
Certifyd does not claim that its courses are HRD Corp claimable. Ask HRD Corp about the status of any programme before you plan to use levy funds, and start with a training needs analysis so the spend matches real gaps.
