KUALA LUMPUR: Gig economy platform providers or employers must automatically deduct Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) contributions from workers' earnings under the Gig Workers Bill, says Steven Sim.
The Human Resources Minister said the Bill, passed by the Dewan Rakyat on Aug 28 and the Dewan Negara on Sept 9, legally requires platform providers to submit worker information to PERKESO and integrate automatic contribution deductions through their systems.
