What is EIS in Malaysia?

The Employment Insurance System (EIS) is a social protection scheme administered by PERKESO.

It provides temporary financial assistance and employment support services to employees who lose their jobs through no fault of their own.

EIS was introduced to help workers maintain financial stability while seeking new employment opportunities.

How Does EIS Work?

Both employers and employees contribute to EIS through monthly payroll deductions.

The contribution amount is determined based on monthly wages and contribution schedules issued by PERKESO.

When an eligible employee loses employment, EIS may provide financial assistance and employment support benefits.

Who Needs To Contribute To EIS?

Most employees working under a contract of service are generally covered by EIS.

Employers are responsible for deducting employee contributions and remitting both employer and employee portions to PERKESO.
