OWNERS of small-scale and big business establishments are required to secure a clearance from the Social Security System (SSS) before they can renew their local business licenses and permits to ensure the registration of their employees.

“Gusto nating i-seguro na nabebenipisyuhan ng tama ang mga empleyado,” said Engr.  Primitvo Verania, section head of SSS’ field inspectorate division.

He explained that even sari- sari stores and jeepney operators should report the names of their employees within 30 days of employment.

“Under the SSS Special Law, on the day they (employees) are hired, dapat mai-report na ng employer sa SSS,” he said, dismissing the misconception that employees need to first work for at six straight months to be registered under SSS.

Verania said those not remitting their employees’ contributions will not be issued a clearance.

“Lahat ng pinagkakakitaan na gumagamit ng katulong o empleyado, kailangang mag-comply sa batas na ito ng SSS,” he stressed.

SSS members who are retrenched or have resigned from work can still continue paying their contributions and will be classified as voluntary members.

OLD MEMBERS, PENSIONERS

Members who have discontinued paying their contributions can revive their membership anytime and start paying again.

Meanwhile, SSS pensioners will get double their monthly benefit this December with the payment of a 13th month pay.

Verania said the SSS has released to its conduit banks nearly P10 billion for this month for the pensioners’ 13^th month benefit. (PIA-Pangasinan)
