Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) Schemes

Under the Employees' Social Security Act 1969 and Employment Insurance System Act 2017, all employees under a contract of service must be registered with SOCSO regardless of wage amount.

The Two Main Schemes

• Employment Injury Scheme: Covers accidents arising out of and in the course of employment, including commuting accidents traveling to or from the workplace.
• Invalidity Scheme: Provides 24-hour protection against invalidity or death due to any cause, providing pensions to dependents.
• Employment Insurance System (EIS): Employer and employee each contribute 0.2% of wages (total 0.4%, capped at RM5,000 monthly wage ceiling) providing retrenched employees with job-search allowances and training allowances for up to 6 months.

Filing Claims and Portal Submission

All contributions must be paid through the PERKESO Assist Portal by the 15th of each month.
