Where should we send your report?

We email you a link to confirm. Your report opens after you click it.

How we use your details: only to send this report and, if you ticked the box, tips about training. You can unsubscribe or delete your data from any email. For people aged 18 and over. Privacy notice version 2026-10-16.

This is a self-check, not an exam or a certificate.

Why check this now?

Find your gaps before an audit or a review does.

Employees rely on HR when they claim after an injury, a job loss or at retirement. Wrong registrations or late contributions can leave them without cover and the employer exposed.

What does the assessment ask?

Rate each statement from Not yet to Always. These are the statements, by area.

EPF administration

  1. I check that every employee who must contribute, including contract and part-time staff, is registered with EPF.
  2. I can explain the employee's EPF accounts and main withdrawal options using current EPF guidance.
  3. I correct contribution errors with EPF promptly when I find them.
  4. I follow EPF announcements that change who must contribute or at what rate.

Rights and responsibilities

  1. I can explain what the EPF Act 1991, the Employees' Social Security Act 1969 and the Employment Insurance System Act 2017 require of the employer.
  2. I tell new hires what social security coverage they have and how to check their own contributions.
  3. I answer employee questions on contributions and claims within a set response time.
  4. I make sure the employer's share of contributions is never deducted from employees' wages.

Contributions in payroll

  1. I calculate EPF, SOCSO and EIS from the correct wage items for each employee.
  2. I remit all contributions by the monthly due dates.
  3. I reconcile EPF and PERKESO contribution statements with payroll every month.
  4. I review contribution changes when an employee reaches an age threshold set by EPF or PERKESO.

SOCSO and EIS protection

  1. I can explain the difference between the Employment Injury Scheme and the Invalidity Scheme.
  2. I report workplace and commuting accidents to PERKESO promptly with complete documents.
  3. I help injured employees and their families follow up on PERKESO benefit claims.
  4. I guide employees who lose their jobs on how to apply for EIS benefits and job search support.

Frequently asked questions.

Short answers to what people ask first.

How is my score worked out?

You rate each statement from Not yet (0) to Always (3). Your score is the percentage of the maximum points, and your lowest scoring section shows which course to look at first.

Does a high score mean I am certified?

No. This is a self-check of your current practice, not part of the Certified Social Security Administrator assessment. The certification is earned by completing its core courses and assessment.

Does this tell me the current contribution rates?

No. Rates and rules change, so always use the current schedules and announcements from EPF and PERKESO.

Who is this assessment for?

HR and payroll staff who register employees, manage contributions or help with SOCSO and EIS claims in Malaysia.

Is the Employee Social Security Coverage Assessment free?

Yes. You can answer every statement and see your readiness band without signing up. Your email is asked for only if you want the detailed report and the PDF checklist.

Do you store my answers?

Not until you ask for your report. Until then your answers stay in this browser. After you confirm your email, they are kept with your report and you can delete them from any email we send.

What happens after the assessment?

Your report recommends one next step: the half-day introductory class, the core course for your weakest area, or the certification when you are ready.
