DAGUPAN CITY, Dec. 15 (PIA) -- Before business owners can renew their licenses and permits, they are obliged to secure a clearance from the Social Security System.
This is to ensure that employers have reported the names of their employees and have remitted their corresponding contributions to SSS.
"Gusto nating i-seguro na nabebenipisyuhan ng tama ang mga empleyado (We want to make sure that employees are given their correct benefits)," said Engr. Primitvo Verania, section head of SSS' field inspectorate division.
Verania said those not remitting their employees' contributions will not be issued a clearance which is a requirement upon renewal of license or permits.
"Lahat ng pinagkakakitaan na gumagamit ng katulong o empleyado, kailangang magcomply sa batas na ito ng SSS (All that uses helpers or employees to earn are required to complied with the SSS law)," he added.
From sari- sari stores and jeepney operators to big companies, owners should report the name of the employees on the day the latter is hired with a grace period of 30 days, Verania said, dismissing notions that employees need to work for six straight months to be listed under SSS.
"Under the SSS Special Law, on the day they (employees) are hired, dapat maireport na ng employer sa SSS (Under the SSS Special Law, on the day they are hired, employers should have them reported to the SSS)," he explained.
Verania said every worker must be protected from the start of employment.
"Mahirap yung hintayin pa after two months. What if may nangyaring masama sa kanya within the period, sino ang sasagot sa benepisyo niya? (It is difficult to wait after two months. What if something bad happens to the employee with that period? Who will answer his benefits?) " Verania asked.
