SAN FERNANDO CITY, Pampanga— The Social Security System (SSS) continues to remind non-compliant employers of their statutory obligations as they conducted the Run After Contribution Evaders (RACE) here on June 14.
SSS Chief Legal Counsel and Senior Vice President for Legal and Enforcement Group Voltaire P. Agas said that 11 employers were found to be non-compliant with Republic Act (RA) 11199 otherwise known as Social Security Act of 2018 due to non-remittance of contribution and non-registration of business and non-reporting of employees to SSS. “Reports from SSS Pampanga revealed that 166 workers from the 11 non-compliant establishments were affected by their employer’s constant neglect of duty in providing them adequate safety nets. Hence, we decided to visit their establishments today to remind them of their obligations as business owners,” Agas said.
Show Cause Orders were posted at 558 Win Mart (Franchise), Maggs Signature Salon and Spa, EV Punzalan Funeral Homes, PDDL Diagnostic Laboratory, DJ Bingozonic Bingo, Silky Touch Facial Center – Dolores, Xavier Colleges, Metrofil Purified Water Station, Mr Borton’s Fast Food and Land Force Security Agency due to non-remittance of employees’ contributions with total delinquency amounting to P3.96 million inclusive of penalties.
Wileepao Delights was also visited by the RACE Team due to non-registration of its business as well as its seven employees to SSS.
All 11 employers should respond to the Show Cause Orders by reporting to the nearest SSS branch within 15 days upon posting of the Show Cause Order to settle their pending obligation to SSS.
Agas reminded all employers within the area who have outstanding contribution delinquencies to avail the penalty condonation program.
“Now is the best time to settle your unpaid contributions to SSS because all your penalties will be waived once you have remitted all your delinquencies. Last day of application is on September 1, 2019. Please don’t forget to submit your letter of intent to the nearest SSS branch,” Agas said.
“We would like to thank the Philippine National Police and Local Government Unit of San Fernando, Pampanga particularly the Business License and Permit Division, the Traffic Enforcement Group, and Local Economic and Investment Promotion Office for assisting us during the operation,” Agas concluded.
The SSS also conducted the RACE Campaign in other parts of the country specifically in New Panaderos, Mandaluyong City; Mandaue City, Cebu; and Dipolog, Zamboanga del Norte.
