SOCSO SKBBK (Social Security Organization's contribution) is an essential component of payroll processing in Access UBS. This guide provides an overview of how to locate, configure, and troubleshoot SOCSO SKBBK information in the system.
Overview of SOCSO SKBBK in Payroll Processing
SOCSO SKBBK is calculated automatically during payroll processing based on contributing wages. It is essential to ensure that all relevant allowances and settings are configured correctly to include SKBBK contributions. SKBBK is calculated as 0.75% of basic pay, making it crucial to verify that this percentage-based calculation is accurately configured.
Locating and Viewing SKBBK Information in Reports
To view or print SKBBK information in Access UBS Payroll:
Use the Modern UBS Payroll view.
Navigate to Reports > Statutory/SOCSO section.
Generate the Contributory Wages (Contribution Wages) report, which includes a column for SKBBK.
This report provides detailed information about SKBBK contributions for statutory compliance.
Configuring Allowances to Contribute to SKBBK
To ensure an allowance contributes to SKBBK:
Open the Allowance Table in the payroll settings.
Enable the statutory setting that makes the allowance contribute to SKBBK (e.g., tick the SOCSO option).
Set the allowance type appropriately (e.g., fixed or variable) and ensure it is included in payroll by enabling relevant options like Tax and Pay.
Enter the allowance amount in Normal Pay and run Process Pay. SKBBK will automatically calculate based on the contributing wages, including the configured allowance.
These steps ensure that all eligible allowances are factored into SKBBK contributions.
Troubleshooting SOCSO and SKBBK Issues
If the SOCSO SKBBK column is missing from a payroll report:
Identify the specific payroll report you are using (e.g., Payroll Summary, Detailed Payroll, or a custom report).
Review the list of available standard reports in Access UBS to confirm whether the SKBBK column is included.
Note that the SKBBK column may not be part of some standard reports but is planned for inclusion in future updates.
For custom reporting needs, provide the report name and details to your administrator or support team for adjustments.5. Fixed SOCSO amounts can interfere with SKBBK calculations. To identify this issue:
Generate the SOCSO Contribution Wages Report by navigating to the statutory reports section.
Review the affected employee’s line items. If any amount has an asterisk (*) next to it, this indicates a fixed amount.
Fixed amounts prevent SKBBK from computing correctly. Remove the fixed amount and re-run payroll to resolve the issue.
SKBBK cannot be set as a fixed amount in the "Payments > 1st/2nd half > Add Update > Edit OT Rate/EPF/SOCSO/PCB" screen. SKBBK is calculated as a percentage of basic pay, specifically 0.75%. Ensure that this percentage-based calculation is correctly configured in the system.
These steps help ensure that SKBBK information is accessible and accurate in your payroll reports, and that calculation issues such as fixed amounts or incorrect configurations are resolved effectively.
Conclusion
Managing SOCSO SKBBK in Access UBS Payroll involves understanding its role in payroll processing, knowing where to find relevant information, and configuring settings to ensure compliance. By following the steps outlined above, you can effectively handle SKBBK-related tasks and address common issues. This includes resolving calculation issues such as fixed SOCSO amounts and ensuring SKBBK is configured as a percentage of basic pay.
