Under the Pembangunan Sumber Manusia Berhad (PSMB) Act 2001, registered Malaysian employers accumulate a monthly training levy that can be fully deployed for staff upskilling through EduGuide's pre-approved SBL-Khas programmes.
| Category | Employee Threshold | Levy Rate | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mandatory Registration | 10 or more Malaysian employees | 1.0% of monthly basic wages | Compulsory under PSMB Act 2001 |
| Voluntary Registration | 5 to 9 Malaysian employees | 0.5% of monthly basic wages | Optional — opt-in to access SBL-Khas |
| Covered Sectors | Manufacturing, Services, Mining & Quarrying | Per sector gazette | All gazetted sub-sectors eligible |

New 2026 HRD Corp Regulatory Rules
Major procedural changes are coming into force in 2026. Employers and HR teams must adapt immediately to avoid claim rejections. EduGuide keeps all clients fully briefed and compliant ahead of every regulatory update.
From 2026, all SBL-Khas grant applications must be submitted via the e-TRiS portal at least 14 days before the training start date. Late applications will be automatically rejected by HRD Corp's system with no right of appeal. EduGuide assists all clients with early grant preparation.
HRD Corp no longer permits post-approval changes to course titles, trainer names, participant numbers, or training dates. Any discrepancy between your approved e-TRiS application and the final claim will trigger an automatic claim rejection. EduGuide ensures 100% data accuracy from day one.
HRD Corp audits now require employers to maintain complete training documentation — including original attendance sheets, daily photos, trainer CVs, and feedback forms — for 7 full years. EduGuide provides a turnkey audit-ready documentation package after every training session.
Allowable Cost Matrix (ACM)
The HRD Corp Allowable Cost Matrix (ACM) defines the upper claimable limits for every cost category in a training grant. Knowing these rates ensures your organisation claims the full reimbursement it is entitled to — and avoids partial rejections.
| Cost Category | Maximum Claimable Rate | Conditions |
|---|---|---|
| Trainer Fee — HRD Corp Approved Trainer | RM 1,500 / day | Per full training day (min 6 hours) |
| Trainer Fee — HRD Corp Master Trainer | RM 3,000 / day | Subject to HRD Corp master qualification |
| Meal Allowance (per participant) | RM 50 / day | Official itemized receipts required |
| Accommodation (residential training) | RM 150 / night | Per participant, receipted |
| External Venue Rental | RM 500 / day | External commercial venues only |
| Internal In-House Training | RM 0 / day venue | Trainer fees & meals fully claimable |
* Dynamic ceiling rates apply based on total training hours and headcount. Consult EduGuide's training advisors for an accurate pre-application cost breakdown that maximizes your SBL-Khas levy claim.
