Retrenched workers should make use of the Employment Insurance System (EIS), says\u00a0Deputy Human Resource Minister Datuk Mahfuz Omar.<\/p>\n

The EIS, also known as PERKESO, is set up to help retrenched workers get on with the daily lives until they find a new job. Under EIS, retrenched workers\u00a0are entitled to benefits in the form of cash allowances for a maximum of three months.<\/p>\n

EIS covers\u00a0forced resignation, retrenchment, resignation due to an employer\u2019s failure to comply with the terms of contract, resignation due to sexual harassment at the workplace and closure of the company or factory.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo far, more than 27,400 workers have received their EIS interim benefit,\u201d\u00a0Datuk\u00a0Mahfuz Omar said while at a ceremony to present full-fledged EIS benefits to 25 people who were retrenched this month.<\/p>\n

If retrenched or forced to resigned, Datuk Mahfuz Omar encouraged those affected to go to any of the\u00a054 nationwide offices of the Social Security Organisation (Socso) nationwide or apply online<\/a>. Applications have to be filed within 60 days from the day one is retrenched.<\/p>\n

\u00a0As of Dec 14, 22,268 workers have applied for the benefits of EIS. He also noted that\u00a0Socso had given out RM16.45mil in interim benefits.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cIf we look at job categories, clerical support staff were among the highest who were laid off with 4,089 people (18.4%),”\u00a0Datuk\u00a0Mahfuz said.<\/div>\n
\n

\u201cNext is sales and services employees at 3,807 people (17.1%) and professionals at 3,671 people (16.5%),\u201d\u00a0he added.<\/p>\n
