What is EIS?
The Employment Insurance System (EIS) is a social security scheme implemented by the Malaysian government to provide financial assistance to employees who have lost their jobs involuntarily. EIS contributions are mandatory for both employees and employers. The scheme provides income support, job search assistance, and access to retraining programmes for retrenched workers.
