Open, track, close, and apply the SKBBK / Lindung 24 Jam declaration in Pandahrms — a step-by-step guide for HR admins, with a screenshot for every step.

The Skim Kemalangan Bukan Bencana Kerja (SKBBK) / Lindung 24 Jam declaration lets your local employees declare whether they wish to join the SKBBK scheme, directly from their Pandahrms ESS dashboard. As HR admin, you control when the declaration opens and closes, monitor who has responded, and apply the answers to each employee’s profile in one click.

Before you start

  • Only local employees are listed in the declaration. Foreign workers are not included — SKBBK remains mandatory for them.
  • Employees with no response are never changed when you apply the results.
  • You need edit rights on the Module Access Template (Settings → Security) for Part 1.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are foreign workers not in the list?

SKBBK is mandatory for foreign workers, so there is nothing for them to declare. The declaration exercise applies to local employees only.

What happens to employees who never respond?

Nothing. When you click Apply to Employee Profiles, only employees who answered are updated. Employees with no response keep their current SKBBK setting.

Can employees change their answer after I close the declaration?

No. Closing the declaration hides the ESS banner and locks all answers. You can reopen the declaration if you need to collect more responses.
