Frequently Asked Questions

Is this the same as SOCSO?
SOCSO is a government-mandated social security scheme. Employee Liability/Workmen's Compensation provides additional protection and covers legal liabilities that may exceed SOCSO limits.
Does it cover sub-contractors?
Generally, it covers your direct employees. Sub-contractors should ideally have their own coverage, but you can sometimes extend your policy to include them.
