The objectives of this half-day program are to provide a quick overview of the SOCSO Act and to familiarize participants with essential parts of the Act which would be relevant to HR/IR officers. The focus will be on knowing the basics and how to handle different situations involving employees where the Act applies.
Major topics to be covered include a broad overview of what are contained in the Act, coverage and registration, contribution rates, submission timeline and general administration, benefits of different Schemes, reporting of accidents, how to effectively make or facilitate the making of claims for eligible employees, reference to Medical Board and appeals to Appellate Medical Board, common omissions and mistakes made by employees and employers in complying with the SOCSO Act, which may attract penalties or deprive employees of the SOCSO benefits.
