PERKESO Employment Insurance System (EIS)

PERKESO Initiative For Unemployment Benefits

Employment Insurance System (EIS) Training Incentive for Unemployed

What is EIS? 

The Employee Insurance Scheme (EIS), which is administered by the Social Security Organisation (SOCSO), seeks to provide temporary financial assistance for up to six months to workers who are retrenched or have had some form of loss of income.

This is actually something that the Malaysian government launched not too long ago – October 2017 to be exact. It’s a very helpful initiative for Malaysian workers, and looking at the unemployment statistics, it is now more important than ever.

Wondering where this pool of money comes from? Well, if you take a closer look at your payslips, you’d notice a small deduction for something called your Employee Insurance Scheme. 

Here’s how it works. Both your employer and yourself would contribute 0.2% of your salary to the scheme (total 0.4% monthly). Monthly contributions start from 10 sen for workers earning RM30 a month, while the maximum amount of contribution is capped at RM7.90 for those earning RM4,000 and above.

This means that even if you earn RM20,000 a month, you’ll still contribute RM7.90 to the EIS. (RM15.80 when you include your employer’s contribution.)
