Socso refers to the Employment Injury Scheme under the Social Security Organization (SOCSO) in Malaysia. SOCSO is a government body responsible for protecting workers in Malaysia from the risk of loss of income due to work-related injuries, illnesses, or death.
Under the SOCSO Employment Injury Scheme, employers in Malaysia are required to register their employees with SOCSO and make monthly contributions to their SOCSO account for each employee. These contributions are part of the employer's responsibility and serve as protection for workers if they suffer injuries while working, work-related illnesses, or in the event of death due to work-related incidents.
The benefits offered by SOCSO include:
Employment Compensation: Workers who suffer injuries while working or work-related illnesses and are unable to work are eligible to receive compensation for loss of income.
Compensation for Work Accidents: If a worker suffers an injury resulting in disability or death while working, compensation will be paid to the worker or their family.
Medical Payments: SOCSO also provides funding for medical expenses related to work-related injuries or illnesses.
SOCSO is an essential protection for workers in Malaysia and is another form of social insurance that ensures workers receive financial support in the event of unexpected incidents while working.
