Employers told to register helpers in Pag-IBIG

By December 14, 2014Business, News

PAG-IBIG Fund reminded household employers in Pangasinan to register their helpers or “kasambahays” as members of Pag-IBIG Fund.

Meriam Pamittan, branch head of Pag-IBIG Fund in Urdaneta City, said employers must register their kasambahays to Pag-IBIG Fund before December 29 to avoid penalties on the amount due.

Employers must pay the monthly membership contributions of their helpers from the first month of the latter’s employment.

Employers whose kasambahay’s wage is less than P1, 500 a month will pay an equivalent three percent of their kasambahay’s monthly contribution while four percent will be paid by employers who pay their house helpers for P1, 500 to P 4, 999. Those earning less than P5,000 do not have to pay any contributions with Pag-IBIG because their employers will shoulder their membership contributions.

Those earning at least P5,000 pay the two percent employee or personal share worth P100  while employers pay two percent worth P100 as employer share. (PIA)
