New Amendments In AutoCount Cloud Payroll

AutoCount Cloud Payroll SOCSO EIS Amendments Presoft

The latest release of AutoCount Cloud Payroll fully supports the Malaysian Government’s newest SOCSO (PERKESO) and EIS contribution regulations. Because statutory payroll rules change over time, staying updated ensures your business remains fully compliant while avoiding filing penalties. Below, we explain the three key statutory updates implemented in the system.

1. AutoCount Cloud Payroll: Updated SOCSO & EIS Salary Ceiling

First, starting from the September payroll month, the statutory salary ceiling for both SOCSO and EIS contributions increases from RM4,000 to RM5,000. As a result, employers must ensure contribution amounts reflect this updated wage threshold. Fortunately, AutoCount Cloud Payroll already includes the revised rate tables, allowing you to process employee deductions automatically without manual recalculations.

To review the complete contribution matrix, visit the official PERKESO Contribution Rates Portal or download the official reference document:

2. AutoCount Cloud Payroll: New PERKESO Single-File Upload

Next, the updated system introduces seamless integration with the PERKESO Portal. Specifically, instead of preparing and uploading SOCSO and EIS contribution files separately, employers can now generate a combined submission file. Consequently, monthly statutory submissions are faster, simpler, and less prone to clerical error.

3. AutoCount Cloud Payroll: Statutory Transition Period

Meanwhile, the Malaysian authorities have granted employers a flexible six-month transition period to align their payroll procedures. This compliance period begins on 1 September 2022 and concludes on 28 February 2023. During this transition window, companies should carefully verify staff payroll profiles and contribution brackets.
