SOCSO, also known as PERKESO, is Malaysia's social security organisation. It provides protection and financial assistance to employees who suffer workplace injuries, occupational diseases, disability or employment-related risks.
SOCSO is an important part of Malaysia's payroll system together with EPF, EIS and PCB. While EPF focuses on retirement savings, SOCSO focuses on employee protection.
Employers and employees contribute to SOCSO every month through payroll. The contribution amount depends on the employee's monthly salary and the contribution schedule issued by PERKESO.
Employers are responsible for registering eligible employees, calculating the required contribution and remitting the payment to PERKESO.
Most employees working under a contract of service in Malaysia are generally covered by SOCSO. Both employers and employees may be required to contribute according to the applicable contribution category.
The employee contribution is usually deducted from monthly salary, while the employer contribution is paid separately by the employer.
SOCSO provides several forms of protection for eligible employees and their dependants.
SOCSO contributions are calculated based on monthly wages and the official PERKESO contribution table. The contribution is shared between employer and employee.
