Socso is organising the International Public Employment Forum 2021 to help revitalise Malaysia's labour sector by sharing information and best practices to rebuild life after the pandemic.

The projection is a part of the "Quarterly Labour Market Perspectives-Stabilisation of Labour Market in the Post-Crisis Periods" report Socso issued yesterday.

EIS provides temporary financial assistance for six months maximum to employees who are retrenched or experienced a loss of income. 

Socso has confirmed that it covers contributors for work-related accidents even if the accident happens in their homes.

Employers must ensure their foreign workers undergo COVID-19 screening by March 31, 2021, or actions will be taken against them.

These are the six of the most common payroll mistakes in Malaysia, but you can avoid them with the right system in place. 

Socso is exempting interest on Late Payment of Contributions (ILPC) for companies who have yet to register with them.

Socso has received about 348 complaints linked to the misuse and fraudulent claims of the wage subsidy scheme (PSU) fund.

PSU 3.0, managed under the Social Security Organization (SOCSO), is a financial aid given to employers for local employees earning RM4,000 and below.

Employers that fail to conduct screening tests on their foreign employees for COVID-19 by Feb 28 will not be able to renew their temporary working permits (PLKS).
