How to Opt an Employee In or Out of SKBBK (Lindung24)

In NeuHR, an employee’s SKBBK (Lindung24) contribution is controlled by the Opt-In SKBBK setting on their Employment Details. NeuHR ticks this by default, so every employee is opted in automatically — in practice, HR admins mainly use this setting to opt an employee out. This guide shows HR and Payroll admins how to update the setting and confirm the result in payroll.

Note

SKBBK applies to employees in a Malaysia company. Under PERKESO’s Lindung24 rules, all employees are enrolled (Opt In) by default and do not need to submit any form. Only employees who wish to opt out must complete the declaration through the Lindung24 portal and pass their signed Declaration Form to HR — you then untick Opt-In SKBBK for that employee.

Steps

1. Open the Employees list

   From the left sidebar, click Employees, then select Employees List.

   

2. Select the employee

   In the employees table, click the employee’s name (for example, Charles Moore) to open their profile.

   

3. Click Edit User

   On the employee profile, click Edit User in the top-right corner to enable editing.

   

4. Open Employment Details and find Opt-In SKBBK

   Select the Employment Details tab, then scroll to the Payroll section. The Opt-In SKBBK checkbox is ticked by default, which means the employee is opted in and SKBBK is deducted.

   To opt the employee out, untick Opt-In SKBBK.

   Caution

   SKBBK is mandatory for foreign employees. For a foreign employee the Opt-In SKBBK checkbox is disabled (greyed out) and stays ticked, so you cannot opt them out. The Opt-In / Opt-Out choice applies only to eligible local employees.

   

   Hovering the info icon (ⓘ) beside Opt-In SKBBK confirms the rule: “Opt in to SKBBK (Lindung 24) contribution. Optional for local employees. Mandatory for foreigners.” For a foreign employee, the checkbox is disabled and remains ticked.

   

5. Save the change

   Click Update in the top-right corner. You’ll see the confirmation message Employee updated successfully.

   

6. Open the payroll month

   From the left sidebar, click Payrolls, select the Payroll Year, then click the month (for example, June) to open the payroll.

   

7. Check the SKBBK column

   In the payroll table, review the SKBBK column for the employee to confirm the contribution amount. In this example, the employee’s row is the first one in the list.

   Caution

   A payroll only reflects the current opt-in setting at the time it was generated. If the payroll was created before you changed Opt-In SKBBK, it still shows the old SKBBK amount. Regenerate (reprocess) the employee’s payslip so the change takes effect — an opted-out employee will then show RM 0.00 in the SKBBK column.
