The Social Security Organization (SOCSO) was established through the Employees' Social Security Act 1969. It provides social security protection to employees through a joint contribution scheme between employers and employees.
SOCSO contributions are the rights of employees because they protect them from the risk of occupational accidents, occupational diseases, disability and death while working.
Obligations of Employers and Employees
All employers are required to register employees with SOCSO within 30 days from the date of employment.
The employer must deduct the employee's contribution and pay the employer's share of the contribution.
