PETALING JAYA: The Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) does not expect instant compliance from small and medium enterprises (SMEs) on the new requirement to notify it of job vacancies.

It pledged to work with SMEs by providing hands-on guidance, holding clinics and having help desks so that smaller firms know exactly what is needed.
