SHAH ALAM: Even if there is only one employee for the nasi lemak or pisang goreng stall by the road side, all employers must ensure contributions to the Social Security Organisation (Socso) fund are made, said its chief executive officer, Datuk Seri Dr Mohammed Azman Aziz Mohammed.

Speaking to the media following Sosco’s nationwide operations to ensure compliance yesterday, its 13th Ops Kesan to date, Mohammed Azman said all parties are required to contribute if they have employees, based on the Employees Social Security Act 1969 (Act 4) and the Employment Insurance System Act 2017 (Act 800).
