Question

Is the Employment Insurance System (EIS) calculated separately from SOCSO, or are they combined into one payroll deduction in Malaysia?

Answer
EIS is a separate contribution from SOCSO, calculated at 0.2% employer and 0.2% employee rather than folded into the SOCSO deduction. Omni HR calculates both correctly within the same Malaysian payroll run, so the two stay auditable on their own even though they're processed together.
