Bagyong Julian, ganap nang super typhoon

Nakakolekta na ng ₱10.5 milyon ang Social Security System (SSS) sa loob ng halos dalawang taong paghabol sa 168 delinquent employers sa Bicol.

Ang paghabol sa hindi nababayarang kontribusyon ng mga employer ay bahagi ng ipinatutupad na Relief Afforded to Challenged Employers (RACE) campaign ng ahensya.

"Among the 168 employers, 33 have fully paid their obligations, 64 availed of the partial or installment option, 53 were for re-assessment, six (were) referred to the legal department, six (were) filed with court cases, and six (were) issued with demand letters," pahayag ni SSS-Luzon vice president for Bicol Elenita Samblero matapos ang RACE event sa Camalig nitong Biyernes.

Paliwanag ni Samblero, pitong delinquent employer ang binigyan nila ng notice of violation.

“From the seven delinquent employers, five had non-registration and two were non-remittance. The main objective of RACE is to instill awareness. So, regardless of how small or big, the purpose is to offer them programs that will make it easier for them to pay," anang opisyal.

Nasa ₱234,000 hindi nababayarang kontribusyon ang inaasahang makolekta ng SSS sa mga nasabing employer.

"We want to inform our employers and employees that we are serious about what we are doing. We don't have the intention to shame our employers. Instead, we want to invite them to various SSS programs. Before we visit an establishment subject for RACE, we issue a billing letter indicating their obligation," pagbibigay-diin pa ni Samblero.
