PETALING JAYA: Employees travelling from their hometowns back to their workplaces in another town are considered “travelling to work” and eligible for Social Security Organisation (Socso) claims, the Court of Appeal has declared.
In a landmark decision on Monday (Sept 19), a three-member panel of judges ruled that the injuries suffered by N. Sathiaseelan were considered an employment injury under Section 24(1)(a) of the Socso Act 1969.
