What is Employment Insurance Scheme (EIS)
What is EIS?
The Employment Insurance System (EIS) is a vital initiative established by the Malaysian government under the Employment Insurance System Act 2017. Its primary aim is to provide financial assistance and support services to workers who lose their jobs due to various reasons, including redundancy, company closures, or unforeseen circumstances. EIS is designed to ensure that individuals who have contributed to the system can access benefits that will help them transition smoothly back into the workforce.
Who is an Insured Person?
An insured person is any worker who has made contributions to the EIS scheme through their employer. This includes:
- Employees: Those who have been retrenched or laid off due to economic changes, organizational restructuring, or the closure of their workplace.
- Self-Employed Individuals: Certain self-employed workers can opt into the EIS to receive benefits similar to those available for employees, ensuring they are protected during periods of unemployment.
Loss of Employment and EIS Benefits
Insured persons who experience a loss of employment may qualify for EIS benefits, provided they meet specific criteria set by Perkeso. This includes:
Voluntary Separation
If an employee voluntarily resigns, they may not be eligible for benefits unless under circumstances recognized by the EIS.
Termination of Employment
Individuals who have been terminated or retrenched due to no fault of their own are eligible to apply for EIS benefits.
Benefits of EIS for Insured Persons
The EIS offers a range of benefits tailored to support insured persons effectively:
Financial Assistance
Eligible individuals can receive monthly allowances during unemployment. This support is crucial for covering living expenses while they search for new employment opportunities.
Skill Development Programs
EIS provides access to training programs aimed at enhancing the employability of insured persons. These programs focus on various skill sets, including technical skills, digital competencies, and soft skills that are essential in today’s job market.
Job Placement Services
The EIS includes robust job placement assistance, connecting insured persons with employers actively seeking skilled candidates. This direct support increases the likelihood of finding employment quickly.
Career Counseling and Guidance
Participants benefit from personalized career support, including resume writing assistance, interview coaching, and job search strategies to enhance their prospects in the job market.
