⚠️Important: Requires Access UBS Payroll Version 2026.3 or later. Update your software before following these steps.
Setting up SKBBK takes just a few minutes. Complete these steps before your next payroll run.
Step 1: Check the SKBBK Rate Table
The SKBBK rate table is added automatically when you install v2026.3. Confirm it's in place before processing payroll:
Go to Settings, Payroll Settings, Statutory / Tax Tables Maintenance Setting, SOCSO Table, Setup.
Confirm the SKBBK rate table is present.
If the table is missing or blank, contact Access Support via MyAccess portal before continuing.
Step 2: Check Employee SKBBK Settings
When you update to v2026.3, all employees are automatically enrolled in SKBBK - you don't need to change anything for most employees.
The only exception is an employee who has multiple employers and is submitting SKBBK through a different employer. To update a specific employee:
Go to Employee, Edit Employee, Statutory Info, SOCSO Info.
Find the Contribute to SKBBK checkbox.
Leave it ticked for all standard employees. Untick only for employees contributing SKBBK via another employer.
Save the record.
Tip: If you're unsure, leave the checkbox ticked. You can always correct contributions through PERKESO later if needed.
Step 3: Review Your Allowances (if applicable)
If you pay allowances (such as a site or transport allowance) that should be included in an employee's contributing wages, check that they're correctly configured:
Open the Allowance Table in payroll settings.
For each applicable allowance, tick the SOCSO option.
Set the allowance type and confirm Tax and Pay are enabled.
Save the settings.
Note: If an allowance already contributes to SOCSO, it automatically counts towards SKBBK - no additional changes are needed.
Step 4: Process Your Payroll
SKBBK is calculated automatically when you run Process Pay - there's nothing extra to do.
Calculated for 1st Half and 2nd Half payroll runs.
Also applies to Bonus and Commission pay runs.
If an employee has multiple pay runs in the same month, the system automatically balances the SKBBK contribution across runs.
After processing, check a payslip to confirm SKBBK appears as a deduction. If it doesn't, see the troubleshooting section in SKBBK: Checking Reports, Submitting to PERKESO & Fixing Common Issues.
