SOCSO (Social Security Organization), also known as PERKESO (Pertubuhan
Keselamatan Sosial), was established in 1971 under the Ministry of Human
Resources (formerly known as Ministry of Labour) to provide social security
protections to all employees/workers in Malaysia. PERKESO is an organization to
provide insurance coverage against job-related injuries and disabilities,
workplace accidents, occupational diseases and death. SOCSO receives monthly
contributions from employers and employees, using this to build up a fund which
will pay out social security benefits when such accidents or illnesses occur.
An
employer must register any employees employed under a contract of service or
apprenticeship and earning monthly wages of RM3,000 and below. For employees
earning RM3,000 and above, registration is optional and must be agreed upon by
both employer and employee (except if said employee has registered with SOCSO
in their previous employment, under the 'Once In Always In' policy, in which
case contribution is mandatory) Employers and registered employees have to
contribute a percentage of wages to SOCSO regardless of the employment status
whether it is permanent, temporary or casual in nature.
