Worker alleges employer failed to deposit EPF for years despite deductions shown in payslips, prompting calls to lodge a complaint with EPF.
A Malaysian worker recently alleged that they had not received any contributions to their Employer’s Provident Fund (EPF) for several years.
Taking to Threads, the worker claimed that they had not received EPF payments for four out of the six years they have been employed at their workplace.
“I am so mad. My payslip shows that around RM165 to RM175 has been deducted every month for my EPF, but when I checked, nothing was credited,” the worker wrote.
“I’ve really lost out—not receiving any dividends, especially when the rates are high,” they added.
According to the worker, during their time at the company from 2021 until this year, EPF payments were only made once in 2023 and again in 2025.
The worker also expressed frustration at the situation, explaining that it made it difficult to apply for loans, and said they had raised the matter with the company’s human resources department.
“But I felt as though they played me for a fool right to my face,” they added.
In a further update, the worker alleged that they were not the only employee affected, claiming that other staff had also reported the issue to management.
In the comments section, the aggrieved worker noted that they are collecting their payslips to present at the EPF headquarters as part of their effort to lodge a formal complaint against their employer.
Netizens encouraged the worker to report the company to the relevant authorities, emphasising that employees have a right to receive their EPF contributions like any other worker.
“Four years? Honestly, if there’s no payment for even three months, you should already report it to the Employees Provident Fund office. If it drags on, don’t assume the company will pay a lump sum later—this is the employee’s right,” one user advised.
“Being angry alone isn’t enough. Go and make a report immediately. Everyone else is enjoying their dividends, while you’re working yourself to the bone and not getting what’s rightfully yours. That money is for our livelihood when we retire,” another user commented.
