PERKESO’s Skim LINDUNG 24 Jam (24-Hour Protection Scheme) is a significant expansion of Malaysia’s workplace social protection framework. This scheme provides round-the-clock coverage for registered workers, ensuring protection not just during working hours but throughout the entire day.
What Is Skim LINDUNG 24 Jam?
Skim LINDUNG 24 Jam is PERKESO’s enhanced protection scheme that covers registered employees for injuries, accidents, and incidents occurring outside of normal working hours — including weekends, public holidays, and even during sleep. Previously, SOCSO coverage was limited to work-related incidents only.
Who Is Covered?
All employees registered under PERKESO and contributing to SOCSO are eligible for Skim LINDUNG 24 Jam. This includes full-time, part-time, and contract workers earning below the statutory wage ceiling.
What Does the 24-Hour Protection Cover?
- Accidents occurring anytime — not just at the workplace
- Medical treatment and hospitalisation costs
- Permanent disability benefits
- Dependants’ benefit in the event of death
- Rehabilitation support for injured workers
How Does It Differ from Standard SOCSO?
Standard SOCSO Employment Injury coverage only applies to accidents during work or commuting to/from work. Skim LINDUNG 24 Jam extends this to cover any time of day, providing comprehensive protection that greatly benefits both employees and their families.
What Employers Need to Know
Employers are responsible for registering all eligible employees with PERKESO and ensuring monthly contributions are made promptly. Failure to register or contribute on time may result in penalties and disqualify employees from receiving benefits.
Smart Touch Technology’s integrated payroll system automatically calculates PERKESO contributions and generates compliant statutory payment files, helping businesses stay fully SOCSO-compliant with zero manual effort.
