SOCSO Override

A SOCSO override lets you set a specific SOCSO (PERKESO) contribution amount for an employee, instead of letting the system calculate it.

When to use it​

Rarely. The system already calculates SOCSO correctly using the official rates. Use an override only when you must record a different amount for a specific reason.

How to add it​

  1. In the menu, go to Payroll → Payroll Items → SOCSO Override.
  2. Choose the employee.
  3. Enter the SOCSO amount for the period.
  4. Click Save.
warning

Only override if you are sure of the correct figure. An incorrect amount leads to wrong contributions that must be corrected later.

tip

For normal, correct SOCSO, leave it to the system — no override needed.
