4

clauses a free template doesn't have

What actually goes into an employment contract

Four clauses, and only four

IP

Ownership

The work belongs to the company, not whoever wrote it.

NDA

Confidentiality

What they learn here doesn't leave when they do.

RESTRAINT

Restraint

Reasonable limits on taking clients or colleagues.

EXIT

The exit

Probation, confirmation, resignation, termination — spelled out.

+ wrong classification (employee vs contractor) creates unpaid EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB — recoverable later

+ most staff are covered by the Employment Act regardless of salary now — the RM 2,000 rule is out of date

When it actually matters

What it looks like

It matters on the day someone joins.

What's actually true

It matters on the day they leave — and by then it's too late to add what's missing.

IP, confidentiality and restraint gaps are usually only found once a dispute or resignation has already started.

And it doesn't transfer

Misclassifying someone doesn't move the obligation. It stays yours, however the contract read.

Employee or independent contractor — get the classification wrong and it doesn't just misfile a form. It creates unpaid EPF, SOCSO, EIS and PCB obligations that are recoverable later, from the employer, regardless of what the contract called the relationship.

The one question that decides this

Any lawyer can draft the contract. Almost nobody keeps it matching payroll.

What a law firm and OCTIS both do

At the point of signing, an employment lawyer and OCTIS both produce an equally solid contract; the difference only shows up afterward, once something about the employment — like probation ending — actually changes.

An employment lawyer
Drafts an enforceable contract
Knows Malaysian employment law
Can write the IP and restraint clauses
Knows the role you're hiring for
Probation ends — you have to remind them
OCTIS
Drafts an enforceable contract
Knows Malaysian employment law
Can write the IP and restraint clauses
Knows the role you're hiring for
Probation ends — the account already knows

What a law firm never sees

What they do well

A specialist employment lawyer writes a clause that holds up in a tribunal — that's their whole job, and a good one does it well.

What their shape can't reach

They hand you a signed PDF and move to the next client. They don't run your payroll, so if the probation date, salary or role changes afterward, they have no way of knowing — and no reason to update anything.

What you're actually buying

RM 99 is a one-time fee for a single contract template, which you can then reuse at no extra cost for every employee you hire afterward.

RM 99 for one contractRM 99, reused for every hire you make after

A downloaded template expires the moment you close the tab. This one is filed once, then it's yours.

What changes once they've started

Whether a missing or incomplete contract can still be put right easily depends on one thing: whether the employee has already started work or not yet started.

Before they start
after they've already begun

Most gaps can still be regularised even once someone has started — it just gets more sensitive, not impossible. This service isn't part of the published money-back guarantee — which services it covers, and up to what point, is set out on the guarantee page (Company Incorporation and Transfer of Company Secretary only). What's true here instead: nothing is retainer-locked, and Suite + HR Support is billed monthly with no fixed term.

One hire, three tiles

Payroll

One hire, one account — the name and the salary get typed once, not three times.

Two different jobs

These are two different jobs, not three sizes of the same thing: the first two tiers cover the paperwork of hiring, while the third tier adds legal protection for the day an employee eventually leaves.

Single Contract

RM 500RM 99

  • One offer letter template
  • Probation, confirmation, resignation, termination
  • Issue it to every hire from here

Contract Suite

RM 3,000RM 999

  • Everything in Single Contract, plus
  • Classification guidance + contractor agreement
  • One intake call, one revision

Suite + HR Support

from RM 1,999/month

  • IP, confidentiality, non-solicitation and restraint clauses
  • Handbook, unlimited revisions
  • Termination, discipline, disputes and statutory obligations

The first two are the paperwork of hiring. Protection for the day someone leaves is the third tier — priced monthly, not once.

Even one employee

Small teams are more exposed, not less

Founders rely on trust instead of structure — any dispute has direct operational impact.

Enforceability

Restraint clauses must be reasonable to hold

An unenforceable clause is the same as no clause.

Already hired without contracts?

Usually still fixable

It gets more sensitive once the relationship has already started — better to do it now than later.

Not covered

  • IP, confidentiality, non-solicitation and restraint clauses are only in the RM 1,999/month tier — Single Contract and Contract Suite do not include them.
  • Suite + HR Support is billed monthly. Single Contract and Contract Suite are one-off. Different shape, not a line-for-line comparison.
  • Statutory contributions themselves — EPF, SOCSO, EIS, PCB — are not part of this service. That is payroll.

How does OCTIS help me cut extra costs?

We automate the whole process, so your company's compliance and the back-and-forth cost less to run. That is why we can charge less and deliver faster. A live company health check in the app also shows where you are spending more than you should, alerts you, and suggests a better option that costs less.

How does OCTIS help me keep risk under control?

Reminders for your company's deadlines, so nothing is missed, and a professional legal team when you need one.

Is everything in OCTIS done by AI?

No. Licensed professionals do the work. AI helps them work faster, and helps you understand and analyse your own company quickly.

One contract set. Issued to everyone you hire from here on.
