THE Employees Provident Fund (EPF) has extended until April 30 the deadline for employers to remit their mandatory contribution for March 2020 salaries.

The deadline had previously been pushed forward to April 24.

“Normally, employers must remit their contributions by the 15th of every month, but we had announced yesterday that for April, we would extend this to the 24th,” EPF chief executive officer Tunku Alizakri Alias said today in a statement.

“However, having received many enquiries and requests from employers following yesterday’s news release, the EPF Board has unanimously agreed to a further extension until the end of the month.”

Employers can make their payments via the i-Akaun on the EPF website, internet banking or selected bank counters. – April 14, 2020.
