Employee’s Age: There are generally two contribution categories based on employee age:
Below 60 Years Old: This category applies to the Employment Injury and Invalidity Scheme.
60 Years Old and Above: This category applies to the Employment Injury Scheme only.
Employee’s Salary: In some cases, the contribution rate might be capped based on a specific monthly salary limit.
