What is EIS
The Employment Insurance System (EIS) also known as Act 800 or Akta 800, it is a financial scheme aimed at helping employees who lost their jobs until they find new employment. The contributions are being collected in a fund in order to provide financial assistance to retrenched employees.
Same with SOCSO, the contribution to EIS comes from both employer and employee - refer to the latest EIS (Akta 800) contribution rate table available @ SOCSO website . Admins can quickly manage employees’ EIS information via the Payroll > Compensation page.
