Job orders and contractual employees of PGB to get SSS benefits

CITY OF MALOLOS – The Provincial Government of Bulacan and Social Security System (SSS) partnered in extending protection to job orders and contractual employees.

Under Resolution No. 096-T7’15, Bulacan Gov. Wilhelmino M. Sy-Alvarado and SSS Malolos Branch Manager Francisco P.L Lescano signed the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) recently stating that all job orders and contractual employees or the informal sector group (ISG) of the PGB who are not covered under the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS) are qualified to register in the SSS as self-employed members under the Expanded Self Employed Program.

The MOA covers the mechanics for the implementation of the said program which aimed at facilitating an easy and more convenient remittance of SSS monthly contribution of the ISG members.

“With this, they can also enjoy the benefits of SSS katulad ng loan sa panahon ng pangangailangan at iba pang benepisyo at salary deduction ito, hindi na ‘yung sila pa ang pupunta sa SSS para magbayad ng buwanan. Dito hindi na rin nila makakalimutan magbayad o malagpasan ng due date kasi up-to-date nang mababayaran,” Alvarado explained.

In order to be a member, the workers must declare their monthly income to SSS, which will serve as a basis for the amount of contributions.

According to the MOA, the contribution shall be the amount corresponding to the monthly salary that they receive from the rolex replica for sale LGU but not exceeding the maximum salary credit under the contribution schedule of SSS while the PGB offices will also immediately report new job order and contractual hires for SSS coverage.

The PGB currently employs more than 400 job order and contractual employees and among the benefits that they will be able to avail are financial assistance in times of contingency such as maternity, sickness, disability, retirement or old age, and death.
