Comment From NBC:\"SOCSO-Perkeso\"<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Every company is required to contribute SOCSO for its employees, whether they are full\/part time, permanent or temporary, employment or contract. A company must remit the contribution sum to Perkeso Office before the end of the following month.<\/p>\n

Failing to submit the forms & remit the payment within the period will result in late interest (penalty) charged by Perkeso.<\/p>\n
