PETALING JAYA: The Social Security Organisation (Socso) is finding ways to handle the huge surge in workload in implementing various government initiatives introduced following the Covid-19 pandemic.

In a statement, the organisation explained that the unusual amount of work among its staff had led to complaints of them being late in processing applications and payments to employers and workers, but stressed that the number of backlogs from last year was low.
