Query about employment pass and single entry visa

The SEV is the only legal way to enter Malaysia for visa-nationals who are taking up employment. The employer has 30 days after arrival to get the EP endorsed into the passport of the employee.  There are no travel restrictions thereafter, but there can be some income tax implications for longer personal absences.

Thanks gravitas for the information. I was confused with the term single entry visa and thought once reaching malaysia, i wont be able to travel. My employer is working on employment pass and if needed i will be leaving malaysia for 1-2 days due to some family work. There won't be any long absences. So employment pass can be considered as multiple entry pass after endorsing it on the passport.

Here's some info about the SEV (also referred to as the VDR - visa with reference)
