AutoCount HRMS

PERKESO’s LINDUNG 24 JAM scheme (SKBBK) now runs through an online self-service portal, and every employee needs to log in at least once to record their choice. Here’s a step-by-step walkthrough of the portal, from creating an account to downloading proof of your submission. Do you actually need to do anything? Only if you plan to opt out. Employees who are happy to be covered by the scheme don’t need to take any action — anyone who hasn’t opted out by 31 August 2026 will be enrolled automatically. This guide is mainly for staff who want to actively decline coverage. Step 1: Create or Access Your Portal Account Start by opening the Benefit Application Portal in your browser: Already signed up before? Just hit Log Masuk (Log In) and skip ahead to Step 2. First time here? Choose Daftar Akaun (Register Account) instead and fill in the following details: Once your details go through, the portal will show a short confirmation notice. Tap Next to move on to the participation step. Step 2: Choose Your Participation Status This is the part that actually matters if you want to opt out. On the Perakuan Pekerja (Employee’s Declaration), tick the box for Not To Participate. Below that, you’ll see a checkbox acknowledging your choice. Tick it, then click Submit to lock in your decision. Step 3: Confirm Your Submission Went Through After submitting, the system will pop up a confirmation message right away. Click “Sahkan, Saya Tidak Mahu Menyertai” for confirmation. Worth knowing: this decision is final. Once you’ve submitted your declaration, you won’t be able to switch your participation status afterward, so double-check before you click Submit. You’ll then see a final success screen confirming everything was recorded. Click OK to close it. Step 4: Save a Copy of Your Declaration It’s a good idea to keep a personal record of what you submitted. Select Download Declaration Form to save a PDF copy of your participation record for your own, or submit to your employer. Passing a Copy to Your Employer If your company needs proof for its own records, you can also sign a LINDUNG 24 Hour Scheme Liability Release Notice, noting the date you completed your declaration through the Lindung Faedah portal, and hand that copy to your employer.

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.

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: That’s it — no complicated setup needed. What Happens After You Tick “SKBBK Exempted”? Once this box is ticked and saved, AutoCount HRMS will: 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: This setting should only be applied for employees who genuinely opted out — not applied by default for everyone.

PERKESO has introduced a new protection scheme called Skim LINDUNG 24 Jam (SKBBK), starting 1 June 2026. This means a small change to how SOCSO contributions are calculated for most employees in Malaysia. If you’re an employer or HR user, here’s a simple guide to what’s changing and what you need to do. What Is SKBBK? SKBBK stands for Skim Bukan Bencana Kerja (Non-Work Accident Scheme), part of PERKESO’s Lindung 24 Jam initiative. In simple terms, it extends employee protection to cover accidents happening 24 hours a day — not just during working hours, but also outside work and during travel on the road. What’s the New Contribution Rate? From June 2026, a new SKBBK contribution of 0.75% will be added on top of existing SOCSO contributions. Key points: Example If an employee earns RM 4,150, their SOCSO contribution becomes RM 51.90, which already includes the new SKBBK amount (RM 20.75 + RM 31.15). Do You Need to Change Anything in Payroll? No setup needed. If you’re using AutoCount HRMS, the system will: As an employer, you just need to: Changes to File Submission There’s also a change coming to how contribution files are submitted to PERKESO: To generate the combined file in AutoCount HRMS: What If an Employee Has Two Jobs? Some employees work for more than one employer at the same time. According to PERKESO rules (Section 9 of Act 4), these employees must choose only one employer to pay their SKBBK contribution — not both. Note: Following a recent Cabinet decision, the contribution is now voluntary. If the Employee Has Only One Employer No action needed. SKBBK will be calculated automatically as usual. If the Employee Has Chosen Another Employer for SKBBK You can exempt this employee from SKBBK contributions in your payroll system so they aren’t charged twice. How to exempt an employee in AutoCount HRMS: Go to: Employee Maintenance > Statutory Requirement > SOCSO & EIS > Tick “SKBBK Exempted” Once ticked, SKBBK will no longer be included in that employee’s SOCSO calculation. Example (Exempted Employee) If an employee earns RM 3,333 and is exempted from SKBBK, their SOCSO contribution stays at RM 16.75, without the extra SKBBK amount.

Managing payroll can be a headache for SMEs and HR departments in Malaysia—particularly with statutory contributions like EPF (Employees Provident Fund), SOCSO (Social Security Organisation), and PCB (Monthly Tax Deduction) to calculate each month. Enter AutoCount HRMS: a cloud-based solution designed to streamline the process, ensuring accuracy, compliance, and peace of mind. 1.

Auto‑calculators and software ensure precise computation. 2. Why Manual Payroll is Risky Human error: Manual data entry often leads to miscalculations and delays.
