Questions bosses ask
When must EPF, SOCSO and PCB be paid?
EPF, SOCSO, EIS and PCB for a month's salary are due by the 15th of the following month. Late payment brings a charge.
When do staff get their EA form?
By the end of February each year (next: 28 February 2027). The employer's Form E is due by 31 March each year (next: 31 March 2027).
How often is SST filed?
Usually every two months. File and pay by the last day of the month after the period ends. A nil return is still needed when there were no sales.
