If your company handles SOCSO registrations, contribution submissions, or employee record updates, understanding how the new portal works is essential to staying compliant. This guide walks employers through what ASSIST 2.0 is, how it connects to LINDUNG 24 Jam, and the registration steps needed to get started.<\/p>\n<h2>What Is PERKESO Portal ASSIST 2.0?<\/h2>\n<p>Portal ASSIST 2.0 is the next-generation version of PERKESO\u2019s existing ASSIST employer portal. The upgraded platform officially launched on 30 June 2026, following a scheduled maintenance period on the previous system from 22 to 29 June 2026. It was built to improve system performance, simplify employer transactions, and support the expanded LINDUNG 24 Jam scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Through ASSIST 2.0, employers can manage a wide range of PERKESO-related services online, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Employer registration<\/li>\n<li>Employee registration<\/li>\n<li>SOCSO contribution submissions<\/li>\n<li>Updating employee information<\/li>\n<li>Document submission and verification<\/li>\n<li>Online account management<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>How ASSIST 2.0 Supports LINDUNG 24 Jam<\/h2>\n<p>LINDUNG 24 Jam is PERKESO\u2019s expanded social protection initiative, offering eligible employees enhanced 24-hour coverage for non-work-related accidents, in addition to existing SOCSO protections. As participation and reporting requirements around this scheme evolve, ASSIST 2.0 provides the digital infrastructure employers need to manage registrations, keep employee records accurate, and complete statutory submissions efficiently.<\/p>\n<p>Importantly, the portal upgrade does not change SOCSO contribution rates. Its purpose is to make the existing statutory processes faster and more reliable, not to introduce new financial obligations.<\/p>\n<h2>Employer Registration Steps on Portal ASSIST 2.0<\/h2>\n<h3>1. Register Your Portal ID<\/h3>\n<p>New employers first need to complete portal ID registration on ASSIST 2.0. Once submitted, PERKESO will send a temporary password to the registered email address.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Log In With Your Temporary Password<\/h3>\n<p>Use the temporary password provided by PERKESO to log in to the portal for the first time. You will typically be prompted to set a permanent password after your initial login.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Fill in Employer and Employee Details<\/h3>\n<p>Once logged in, complete the required employer information and, where applicable, register your employees through the portal\u2019s employee registration section.<\/p>\n<h3>4.
