9.10 What About An Employee With Monthly Wages Exceeding RM2,000?

  • Where an employee's monthly wages exceed RM2,000, such employee will falls into either of the situation :
  • Where an employee has been registered previously and contributed to SOCSO, such employee must compulsorily continue to contribute even though the present wage exceeds RM2,000 per month. This will be in line with the principle of "once covered always covered" to preserve the employee's rights accumulated under the Invalidity Pension Scheme.
  • Where an employee has not been registered previously and has been receiving a monthly wage exceeding RM2,000, such employee may opt to be covered under the Act. If an employee opts to be covered, both the employer and employee have to consent to the coverage by filling the necessary form.
