SSS, Philhealth and Pag-ibig Payment Deadlines and Penalties

When your registered business in the Philippines is employing people, you are mandated to provide your compulsory coverage to state insurance fund (SSS or GSIS) to all your employees not over sixty (60) years old, as stated in Art 168 of the Labor Code of the Philippines.

In addition to state insurance fund (SSS or GSIS) mentioned in the labor code, employers are also mandated to contribute to the following government agencies for the benefit of their employees:

  • PHIC – Philippine Health Insurance Corporation (Republic Act No 7875)
  • HDMF – Home Development Mutual Fund (Republic Act No. 9679)
There are too many rules to remember in computing payroll which means there is a high posibility of error and can be costly especially if accumulated overtime. For only 56 pesos per employee, you can automate these rules and processes so you can spend more time on more important things. Check it out

I am Very much determined to file a formal complaint to serve justice, as well as to help my colleagues update their contributions as well. Please advise basic how to`s so i can start off with the legal process. Thank you very much.

  8. Ask ko lang po.

    What if the employer fails to pay the contributions (such as SSS, Philhealth, and HDMF) for about one and a half year. Pero dinededuct po ito sa salary ni employee. Tapos po nagresign ang employee. And hindi pa din po nahuhulugan yung mga contributions. After 6 months, meron ng bagong employer ang employee. At yung bagong employer na ang maghuhulog sa contributions ni employee. Pwede pa din po bang ihulog ng former employer yung Contributions ni employee? Tapos magbabayad na lang po sila ng penalty? Thanks po.

  9. How do i report terminated/resigned employees to SSS, PHILHEALTH, ANd pagibig? whats the process?

    • In the last column of SSS R3 remittance file (text file), you can specify if the employee is already resigned or newly hired and put the effectivity date. The same with HDMF but you will update it in MCRF form. For PHIC, you may simply update the employees profile in EPRS.

  10. Hi Mam. How are the penalty on delayed payments of contribution being monitored? Is there a billing statement being sent to the concerned companies or its a sole responsibility of the company to monitor such payments?Thanks.

    • The agencies have their own database but it also the responsibility of the employer to monitor it. Normally, the company will only receive notice from the agency after few months (even years in some branches) of no payments.

    • Please go to the government agency so they can compute the penalties. Usually you cannot pay the form on late payments without their signature.

    Non-profit organizations are generally tax-exempt under Sec. 30 of the Tax Code. For example, nonstock corporation or association organized and operated exclusively for religious, charitable, athletic, or cultural purposes, where no part of its income or asset shall belong to or inures to the benefit of any member, organizer, officer or any specific person. There are other organizations. They are enumerated A to K of Sec. 30.

    However, there is a catch. The last paragraph of the said section says “the income of whatever kind and character of the foregoing organizations from any of their properties, real or personal or from any of their activities conducted for profit regardless of the disposition made of such income, shall be subject to tax imposed under the Tax Code.

    So avoid tax dispute with tax authorities, a non-profit organization must apply for tax exemption before it can claim as such under the Tax Code. Note that there are BIR issuances as guidelines for those who want to apply. You may just visit BIR office where your office is registered or go directly with BIR National Office for details and guidance.

    Notwithstanding income tax exemption, a non-profit organization is liable to withhold expanded/final tax on income payments to contractors, professionals, and other payees. It is also required to withhold tax on compensation of its employees. These are not taxes of the non-profit organization but under the Tax Code is primarily liable to withhold and remit the same to the BIR on behalf of the said payees.

    • Better go to SSS and HDMF to request for the total balances including the interests. Since you did not make any payments on time, you can expect penalties or interests.

    • Hi Ms. Jelen, We suggest that you go to the SSS Branch where your company is registered and have them check and compute the penalties because most of the time the banks and other payment processors will not accept the computation if not signed by SSS officer.

      Thank you

  37. My cousin was suspended ‘indefinetely’ by their company to which he worked with since June 5. They were not deducted for their SSS, PHILHEALTH and PAGIBIG contributions, as per their payslips info from the time they started working until the time he got suspended on April 17th, 2015. He checked his contributions with SSS and found out that the company just remitted last May 18 for the months of August to December 2014. However, he started working in that company on June 9 of last year. Is the company legally liable for not paying for the months of June and July and for the remainder of the months he worked for in 2015 which are from January to May of this year?
