How to Exclude an Employee from SKBBK (LINDUNG 24 JAM) in AutoCount HRMS

Good news for employers: the PERKESO LINDUNG 24 JAM (SKBBK) contribution is no longer compulsory. Following a recent Cabinet announcement, it has changed from a mandatory contribution to a voluntary one.

This means employees now have a choice. If an employee does not want to join the SKBBK scheme, you can simply exclude them from the contribution in AutoCount HRMS. Foreign employees remain compulsory.

Here’s a simple, step-by-step guide on how to do it.

Step-by-Step: How to Exclude an Employee from SKBBK

Follow these 5 easy steps:

1. Go to Employee Maintenance
2. Select the employee you want to update
3. Click on Statutory Requirement
4. Under the SOCSO & EIS section, tick the box “SKBBK Exempted”
5. Save the employee record

That’s it — no complicated setup needed.

What Happens After You Tick “SKBBK Exempted”?

Once this box is ticked and saved, AutoCount HRMS will:

• Automatically remove SKBBK from that employee’s SOCSO calculation
• Make sure no SKBBK deduction appears when you run payroll for that employee

You can see this reflected clearly in the payroll breakdown — the SKBBK line will show RM 0.00 for exempted employees.

Important: Only Apply This With Employee Consent

Before ticking “SKBBK Exempted,” make sure:

• The employee has clearly chosen not to participate in the SKBBK scheme
• The exclusion follows your company’s internal policy
• You have the employee’s consent on record

This setting should only be applied for employees who genuinely opted out — not applied by default for everyone.
