The Employment Act 1955 forms the basis of employment
contracts between employer and certain categories of mostly
non-management employees. It also serves as a guideline for
employees who are not protected under the EA.
The EPF Act 1991 is a retirement scheme for employees while
the SOCSO Act 1969 is an insurance scheme for Malaysian
employees for employment injury or invalidity. Both employer
and employee are required by law to contribute to EPF and
SOCSO.

All HR Managers and Executives need to know the main
provisions of the EA to avoid providing benefits less than the EA.
They may at times need to explain to employees some of the
main provisions of the EA so as to avoid misunderstanding.
They also may need to know the procedure to register new
employees and to inform EPF & SOCSO of terminated
employees. They may need to know how to make SOCSO claims
for injury and invalidity.
As part of their corporate social responsibility and welfare, HR
Managers and Executives may want to go even further and
explain the benefits of EPF and SOCSO to employees so that
employees or their families may claim the full benefit within the
stipulated deadlines. Employers may also be able to help
employees in this regard.
Ethical employers need to know the EA, EPF and SOCSO Acts to
provide maximum support to employees.
