The Social Security System (SSS) said it issued on Friday notices of violation (NOV) to eight “delinquent” employers in the Makati Central Business District (CBD) with a P6.64 million total estimated delinquencies.
The SSS said the delinquencies consist of P4.69 million in unpaid contributions and P1.95 million in penalties, which affected the monthly contributions of about 152 employees.
The issuance of the NOVs was part of the SSS’s Run After Contribution Evaders (RACE) campaign that seeks to “ensure that employers are complying with their obligations” as stipulated in the Social Security Act of 2018.
The SSS’s Makati Chino Roces Branch was the one that issued the NOVs to the erring employers involved in various fields of business.
Based on the breakdown provided by the SSS, two employers were in the business of management consultancy, while the others were scattered across other industries such as a specialized store of household items, wholesaler of miscellaneous consumer goods, business support service, restaurant, general merchandise, washing and dry cleaning business.
SSS said all eight employers were found out not to be remitting their share of monthly contributions for their employees.
“Among the eight delinquent employers, a management consultancy establishment incurred the highest contribution delinquency of P2.95 million, broken down into P1.46 million unpaid workers’ contributions and P1.49 million penalties,” the SSS said.
“Based on SSS records, the establishment failed to remit the social security contributions of its six employees from July 2011 to April 2023,” the SSS added.
