As an employer, keep in mind that whenever you hire a new employee, you are required to update the following government agency:
- Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)
- Social Security System (SSS)
- Philhealth Health Insurance Corporation (PHIC)
- Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF)
Here are the steps you need to do to ensure the employee is properly reported to concerned government agencies.
Update the Bureau of Internal Revenue (BIR)
First thing that you need to do is to update the BIR.
- If the employee has no TIN yet, you need to require the employee to file BIR Form 1902 to the RDO where your company is registered.
- If the new employee has TIN No., and with previous employer registered in the same RDO as your company, either your employee or HR personnel needs to submit BIR Form 2305 to update his/her information.
- If the new employee already has a TIN No. but his/her previous employer is registered in different RDO as your company, then the employee will need to submit a BIR Form 1905 in the RDO where his previous employer is registered.
All BIR forms listed in this page are available for download in the BIR Website.
Update the Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (PHIC)
Each new employee will need to fill up and sign a PHIC form PMRF regardless if the employee is already a PHIC member or not. For PHIC members, they need to submit to you their Philhealth No. Filled-out form should be submitted in the PHIC office where your company is registered.
You as the employer will also need to fill up and submit a PHIC Form ER2 that contains the list of your new employees. The PHIC Form ER2 should be submitted in the PHIC office where your company is registered or you can submit it online through their online portal.
All PHIC Forms that you need can be downloaded in the PHIC Website.
Update the Social Security System (SSS)
Before you can update the SSS, you need to ask for your employee’s SSS No. If your new employee is not yet an SSS member, you should require him/her to register in the SSS office where your company is registered.
You as employer will also need to fill up and submit an SSS Form R1A that contains the list of your new employees with their respective SSS No. The SSS Form R1A should be submitted in the SSS office where your company is registered or you can also do it online using their online portal for employers.
SSS Forms can be downloaded in the SSS Website.
Update the Home Development Mutual Fund (HDMF)
All your new employees can be easily updated through the Pag-ibig online web portal. Or you can just add the employee in the HDMF Form MCRF, and then mark as NH (Newly Hire), when you are filing the monthly HDMF contribution. Please take note that, your employee needs to be a member of SSS before he/she can register in HDMF.

Gin Freecs says
My employer ask me to process my TIN number in BIR. I have no TIN yet, who should process my TIN application?me or the company?
Thank you
MPM Admin says
Either, but if you do it, you need to have your employers TIN. If the employer will do it, they need authorization letter from you.
Ichi says
May I ask… I would like to get a TIN no, but I’m not employed yet but it is a requirement for my application to a company for employement. the company hr representative stated that I should only fill out the form and submit it to RDO 40.
but there is this employer signature at the bottom, and the people there said it is a requirement……but like I said, I’m not employed yet…. what should I do?
MPM Admin says
You really cannot submit the form without your employers TIN and signature.

TIN of the employer is really needed if your declared source of income is from employment.

Corrine+Q.+Carbonell says
Pls.reply so that i my know if i will still get a new one.?

It is illegal to posses multiple TIN numbers, better contact your previous employer or go to the BIR RDO where your previous employer is registered to ask for your TIN.
RYAN says
CAN I ASK HOW TO DETERMINE,,,TO THIS MY EMPLOYER SAID THAT FOR THE PAG IBIG FUND THEY JUST USED MY SSS NUMBER IS IT RIGHT?
MPM Admin says
For many HDMF Branches, they dont allow this anymore. You have to secure a separate HDMF number.
