Kulasegaran.<\/p>\n<p>The scheme was objected by employers\u2019 groups when it was first introduced by the previous administration. Currently, it has 7,112 applications, of which 5,867 have been approved by Socso.<\/p>\n<p>The EIS, which was implemented this year, requires employers and employees to contribute 0.2% each into an insurance scheme. Laid-off staff will be able to claim a portion of the insured salary for between three and six months.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the minimum wage, a point included in the Pakatan Harapan\u2019s manifesto, will be reviewed by the ministry. The manifesto pledged to gradually increase the minimum wage to RM1,500 a month.<\/p>\n<p>However, concrete plans might take some time as the country\u2019s debts and finances has to be managed and looked into first, Kulasegaran added.<\/p>\n<p><em>[<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestar.com.my\/news\/nation\/2018\/05\/25\/kula-well-be-keeping-the-eis-ministry-to-also-review-minimum-wage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\">Source<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n<h6><em>Image from RoketKini.com<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":34334,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[133,216],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-34333","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-insurance","category-news-updates"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.5 -
