HRD Corp Claimable Team Building 2026
HRDF is now HRD Corp — but the benefit is the same. Registered Malaysian employers who pay the 1% levy can claim back training fees for approved team building programmes. This guide covers the new HRDC (HRD Corp) claim framework, which programmes qualify, and how to maximise reimbursement.
HRDF is Now HRD Corp (HRDC)
In 2021, HRDF (Human Resources Development Fund) was renamed to HRD Corp under Pembangunan Sumber Manusia Berhad. The mechanics are largely the same — employers pay a 1% levy on monthly wages and can claim back training costs — but the branding, portal (eTRiS), and some scheme rules have updated. "HRDC claimable team building" and "HRDF claimable team building" refer to the same thing.
HRDC-Approved Team Building Schemes
Team building programmes are typically claimed under one of three HRD Corp schemes:
- SBL-Khas: Most common for team building — up to 100% reimbursement on approved courses
- SBL: Standard skim — requires pre-approved course codes
- HRDCorp Placement Program (HPP): For ongoing development programmes across the year
How HRDC Claimable Differs From General Team Building
| Aspect | HRDC Claimable | Non-Claimable |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Briefing + activity + debrief | Activity only |
| Duration | Min 4 hrs (half-day) | Any |
| Trainer | HRD Corp TTT-certified | Any facilitator |
| Cost | RM 150–400/pax | RM 80–250/pax |
| Documentation | Attendance + trainer sign-off | Minimal |
