Hi guys,

My company decided to release me as part of downsizing exercise. I want to apply SOCSO EIS, where they ask u 'Tarikh kehilangan pekerjaan'. Tarikh kehilangan pekerjaan means the day after your last day of employment.

So here's the confusing part;

1. 1st notice on 14 Jan, stated our last day is 14 Mac (2 month notice)
2. 2nd notice on 30th Jan, stating management decided to release us earlier and our last day is 31st Jan.

FYI; company is paying in lieu of that 2 months notice, which will be paid out by 15 Feb.

Physically, I'm unemployed now. So which one is my last day of employment, 14th Mac or 31st Jan?

Tq so much guys

Have u applied for EIS yourself?

When did u submit the application?

Cool. If u dont mind pls update when u get the money.

I'm still waiting for the final payslip before submitting my application.

So any luck finding new job?

Cool bro. Update when u rcv the money.

Just got my final payslip. Will proceed to do the necessary by tomorrow.

We are still eligible eventhough company has paid us some compensation right?

I thought this is for those working less than 1 year with the affected company, no?

IT. 1 of the vendor for government. The new government cancelled a lot of projects. not just my company affected I heard.

Actually there's 2 kind of benefits;

1. Interim that's rm600/month
2. Percentage of your last drawn salary stepping down for 6 months (80% down to 20% if i'm not mistaken). This needs to be confirmed.

The monthly premium is dependent on your salary. Junior staff might pay lower than rm2 per month if i'm not mistaken.

Latest update; today I've just signed the Job Placement Program agreement. This is part of the criteria needs to be fulfilled before receiving the monthly allowance. 1st allowance will be in about 2 weeks time.

2nd allowance subject to me fulfilling the Job Placement Program requirements.

Have u met with the officer assigned to u?

The 1st email I received instructed me to register with the Job Placement Program within 7 working days or the program will be canceled. So I called up the officer assigned, and she asked me to complete my profile online then met her up this morning. Listen to a briefing and sign 1 document.

Good for u bro!

Cool. So any luck finding new job?

Rm600 is for those who worked less than a year at the company before being retrenched.

For u, it's 80% of your salary for the 1st month. 50% next and the last one 20%

Nope, confirmed 3 months only. 80%, 50%, 20%, bye bye.

The cap limit is your basic salary itself. If i'm not mistaken, those above 5k can't apply. Correct me if i'm wrong.

Exactly, which is unfair to me. A friend of mine, had his application processed very slow (about 3 months), and by the time he got the approval, he already landed a job. He told the officer about this, and they say they will retract the approval. 🤦

KL area not sure which office
