WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION

Introduction

The policy is issued to comply with section 26 of the Workmen’s Compensation Ordinance 1952. The Ordinance lays out rule & regulations for the employer and his liability to insure the workers. The law also lays down Scale of Compensation which an employer is legally obliged to pay his employees or dependents as the case may be. This cover is compulsory for all employers in Malaysia who do not subscribe to SOCSO.

Scope of Cover
