Employee benefits

In Malaysia, employers are required to contribute to the following benefits for their employees:

Social security

Employers are required to contribute to the Social Security Organization (SOCSO), which provides protection for employees in the event of illness, injury, or death. The contribution rate is based on the employee’s salary and is typically shared equally between the employer and the employee

Retirement

Employers are required to contribute to the Employees Provident Fund (EPF), which is a retirement savings scheme for private sector employees. The contribution rate is based on the employee’s salary and is typically shared equally between the employer and the employee.

Medical insurance

Employers are required to provide medical insurance for their employees through the Private Retirement Scheme (PRS) or the Employee Insurance Scheme (EIS). The contribution rate for these schemes is based on the employee’s salary and is typically shared equally between the employer and the employee.

All employees are required to participate in the national pension plan, health insurance, and employment insurance programs. Employers and employees both contribute to the cost of these programs through payroll taxes.
