What is SOCSO (Social Security Organisation)?
SOCSO (Social Security Organisation) or PERKESO (Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial) is Malaysia's social security institution providing protection and financial support to employees. Established under the Employees Social Security Act 1969, SOCSO covers employees earning up to RM6,000 per month against employment injuries, invalidity, and death.
SOCSO contributions are mandatory for all employees under 60 years old. Once registered, contributions continue even if salary exceeds RM6,000. The scheme provides comprehensive social security benefits without requiring employees to bear the full cost, as employers pay approximately 78% of total contributions.
SOCSO Coverage & Benefits
- • Medical treatment costs
- • Temporary disability benefits
- • Permanent disability pension
- • Dependent benefits (death)
- • Funeral expenses
- • Monthly pension for invalids
- • Medical rehabilitation services
- • Vocational training programs

Use the SOCSO contribution table above to find your exact monthly contribution based on your salary bracket. Unlike EPF which uses percentages, SOCSO uses a table-based system where specific contribution amounts are assigned to salary ranges.
What is EIS (Employment Insurance System)?
EIS or Employment Insurance System (Skim Insurans Pekerjaan - SIP) is Malaysia's unemployment benefit program introduced in 2018. Managed by PERKESO, EIS provides financial assistance and re-employment support to workers who have lost their jobs, helping them transition back into employment.
EIS covers employees aged 18-60 years earning up to RM6,000 monthly. Both employee and employer contribute equally (0.2% each) based on the official EIS table. Unlike SOCSO, EIS contributions stop when you turn 60 or earn above the salary ceiling.
EIS Benefits & Services
Receive monthly financial assistance for 3-6 months (depending on contribution period). Allowance is calculated at 40-80% of previous salary, providing crucial financial relief during job search.
Access career counseling, job matching services, training programs, and upskilling courses to enhance employability and secure new employment faster.
Participate in government-funded training programs, skill development courses, and certification programs to improve career prospects.
Check the EIS contribution table above for your monthly contribution amount. EIS provides peace of mind knowing you have financial support during unexpected job loss while actively helping you return to the workforce.
