The Social Security System (SSS) has once again issued written orders versus 10 employers in Caloocan City for not registering and remitting their employees’ contributions to the pension fund.
In a statement yesterday, SSS said these employers are involved in the businesses of trucking, wholesale of various consumer goods and management consultancy services.
They have a total contribution delinquency of around P7.03 million, affecting 127 employees.
The employers who received show cause orders were given 15 days to coordinate with SSS Kalookan Branch for appropriate and immediate compliance.
Just last month, the pension fund issued notices to 12 employers who incurred more than P57 million worth of unpaid contributions of their employees and penalties combined.
SSS currently offers two programs for delinquent business and household employers — the Contribution Penalty Condonation, Delinquency Management and Restructuring Program, which covers all single proprietorships, corporations, partnerships, cooperatives and associations; and Contribution Penalty Condonation and Restructuring Program for household employers.
Through these programs, delinquent employers can pay the unremitted contributions of their employees, less penalties, through a one-time payment or installment term.
Rolando Macasaet, SSS president and chief executive officer, encouraged affected employers to settle their delinquencies and consider the flexible payment options available to avoid facing criminal charges and maintain their good standing with the SSS.
SSS said it has around 90 activities scheduled in the National Capital Region under its Run After Contribution Evaders program.
