With effect from 1 July 2024, foreign employees below the age of 60 are required to be covered under SOCSO's Employment Injury Scheme and Invalidity Scheme like Malaysian employees. Foreign employees aged 60 and above are covered under the Employment Injury Scheme only.
Employers are required to register their foreign employees via the Perkeso Assist Portal, after which Perkeso will generate a Social Security Foreign Worker Number (SSFW No.). This SSFW number should be entered in the system under Employee > Employee Name > Statutory Requirements in order to be included in PayrollPanda's Assist Portal txt file.
