How to set up SKBBK (Lindung 24 Jam) in Cloudby

What is SKBBK (in one line)

A new PERKESO scheme: Skim Kemalangan Bukan Bencana Kerja (Non-Employment Injury Scheme / “Lindung 24 Jam”), adding a 0.75% employee-borne contribution for all SOCSO-covered employees, capped at RM6,000 wages (max RM44.65/month).

Before you start

Make sure you have:

• Your PERKESO employer (Majikan) number and the PERKESO vendor + ledgers already used for SOCSO/EIS.
• A date of birth on every employee (now required to run EPF and SKBBK).

Step 1: Install & configure SKBBK

1. Go to Payroll → Setup Wizard.
2. Add SKBBK and set its PERKESO vendor, expense ledger, and liability ledger (the same ones you use for SOCSO/EIS).
3. Save. (Compliance → Payroll will show “SKBBK installed & configured” once done.)

Step 2: Wire the contribution links

SKBBK is calculated on the same wages as SOCSO/EIS, so your earnings must feed it.

1. Go to Compliance → Payroll.
2. If you see “Statutory contribution links complete” flagged, click Fix: Cloudby adds the missing links for you.

Step 3: Enrol your existing employees

1. From the Payroll Items screen (or the SKBBK banner), click Enrol existing employees.
2. Review the list (everyone with active SOCSO is eligible) and confirm.
3. Cloudby carries over each employee’s PERKESO account number automatically. (It’s safe to run more than once.)

Step 4: Clear any data gaps

1. Open Compliance → Run Readiness.
2. Fix anything marked Blocker: most commonly a missing date of birth (EPF and SKBBK will error a run without it).
3. Advisory items (e.g. a missing account number) won’t stop a run but should be filled for a clean submission file.

Step 5: (If you employ foreign workers) set EPF citizen class

On each non-Malaysian employee’s EPF assignment, set EPF citizen class to Non-Malaysian. The default is Malaysian/PR, so you only touch the exceptions.

Step 6: Run payroll and verify

1. Run your June payroll as usual.
2. On any payslip, open the Explain tab and confirm a separate SKBBK line (employee-only). Net pay will drop by the SKBBK amount (e.g. RM22.15 at RM3,000 wages).

Step 7: Submit to PERKESO

When you download your statutory file, choose “Text Socso & EIS & SKBBK” (the new combined format that includes SKBBK). Your existing “Text Socso & EIS” file is unchanged and still available, but June onward you submit the new one.

FAQ

Are employees paying twice, SOCSO and SKBBK?
No. SKBBK is a new, separate 0.75% contribution. Your existing SOCSO employee deduction is unchanged; SKBBK is added alongside it. They are two different lines, not a double charge.

Does it apply to staff over 60?
Yes, SKBBK has no age limit. (Their SOCSO may be Category 2, but SKBBK still applies.)

What’s the deduction at my wage levels?
0.75% of wages, capped at RM6,000. Examples: RM1,500 → RM10.85 · RM3,000 → RM22.15 · RM5,000 → RM37.15 · RM6,000 and above → RM44.65.

I run payroll for several companies.
Repeat Steps 1-3 for each, and use Run Readiness per company.
