“Out of the delinquency of P1.5 million, around P257,000 is the amount of the penalty, however,  we offered to them the contribution’s penalty condonation program, so we can help them possibly reduce the amount of their delinquency by deducting the amount of penalty if they qualify,” said Benedian.

SSS offers payment scheme for delinquent employers of their obligations, either in installment or in full payment so that the benefits due to their employees will be availed when needed.

“Some employers who we were able to talk, were also very happy to be visited by SSS as they were able to learn about the employers’ obligation, about the SSS law per se,” Benedian said.
