The Social Security Organisation (SOCSO), also known as Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial (PERKESO), plays a vital role in Malaysia’s worker protection framework. It offers financial support to employees in cases of work-related accidents, illnesses, disabilities, or even death. Both employers and employees contribute to SOCSO, ensuring the overall well-being of the country's workforce.

SOCSO contributions are divided into two key categories: the Employment Injury Scheme and the Invalidity Pension Scheme. Understanding the differences between these two categories is essential for both employees and employers.

First Category: Employment Injury and Invalidity Scheme

For employees under the age of 60, both employers and employees are required to contribute to the Employment Injury Scheme and the Invalidity Scheme. The contribution rate for this category is 1.75% from the employer and 0.5% from the employee, based on the employee’s monthly wage as per the SOCSO contribution schedule.

Note: All employees below the age of 60 must contribute under this category. However, employees who are 55 years old and have not made any prior contributions due to ineligibility under the Employees’ Social Security Act, of 1969, are exempt.

Second Category: Employment Injury Scheme

For employees aged 60 and above, only the Employment Injury Scheme applies. The contribution rate for this category is 1.25% of the employee’s monthly wage, which is paid entirely by the employer according to the SOCSO contribution schedule.
