PETALING JAYA: Employers who have yet to register their companies and employees with the Social Security Organisation (Socso) have been given a one-month grace period – from March 1 to 31 – before the operation, codenamed Ops Kesan 2019, starts in April.

Any employer who voluntarily registers during this period will be exempt from being issued a compound and prosecution even though the deadline they should register has passed, said Socso chief executive officer Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed.
