Contract Staffing Services in Malaysia
When your business needs workers without the commitment of permanent headcount, contract staffing is the answer. Whether it's a 3-month production ramp-up, a headcount freeze that can't wait, or a specialist project role, 6HRS places compliant contract workers faster than any internal hiring process.
We handle everything: recruitment, contracts, statutory registrations (EPF, SOCSO, EIS), payroll, and ongoing compliance. You get the workforce you need. We carry the HR risk.
What Is Contract Staffing?
Contract staffing means placing workers through a third-party employer (6HRS) rather than directly onto your payroll. The worker performs their role at your workplace under your direction, but their employment contract, payroll, and statutory contributions are managed by 6HRS.
This protects your headcount figures, reduces direct employment risk, and allows your business to scale workforce up or down based on operational demand.
When Should You Use Contract Staffing?
Project-Based Roles
For defined-scope projects that don't justify permanent headcount, system implementations, construction phases, production launches.
Headcount Freezes
When your company has a hiring freeze on permanent roles but still needs operational capacity, contract staffing provides compliant flexibility.
Seasonal or Peak Demand
Retail peak periods, FMCG festive production runs, year-end operational surges, contract staffing scales your workforce without long-term obligations.
Probationary Buffer
Assess workers over a contract period before offering permanent employment, reducing the cost and legal risk of a bad permanent hire.
Specialist Skills Gaps
Short-term access to skills your business needs temporarily, technical, operational, or administrative roles filled by experienced professionals.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is contract staffing in Malaysia?
Contract staffing in Malaysia refers to the employment of workers through a third-party HR firm (like 6HRS) who are deployed to work at a client company's premises. The HR firm acts as the employer of record, managing EPF, SOCSO, EIS contributions, payroll, and statutory compliance.
Is contract staffing legal in Malaysia?
Yes. Contract staffing is fully legal in Malaysia and is common across manufacturing, FMCG, retail, and technology sectors. Workers retain all rights under the Employment Act 1955 including minimum wage, paid leave, and statutory contributions.
Do contract workers get EPF and SOCSO coverage?

Can we convert a contract worker to permanent after the contract ends?
