SSS Contributions for Employees who are on Unpaid Leave of Absence

Team,

I would like to ask for your inputs whether an employer is required to contribute SSS premiums for an employee who requested to be on unpaid leave of absence?

Please let me know your thoughts on this matter and share best practices that you know re it.

Also please elaborate whether there is also a need to contribute premiums to say Pag-Ibig and Philhealth.

Thank you very much!

Regards,
Bryan

If there is no employee contribution that can be made due to the absences then there cannot be any employer share unless the company is willing to voluntarily contribute all shares.

Hi Council,

Thanks for the input.  

I asked because I read this at case:
G.R. No. L-16359. December 28, 1961 - unfortunately I can't post links but you can google it and it is found at the Chan Robles site.

In which the gist that I got is that as long as there is employee-employer relationship then employer needs to contribute which puzzles me because what I know is what you replied to it as well.

In our company, we ask the employee if she wants to continue her contributions even if she's on unpaid leave. If she does, then we continue to pay the ee and er share. The ee share is charged to her as cash advance, to be deducted immediately on her next payslip.

Hi

Id like to inquire about my case because I was recently served memo for redundancy but my concern is I miscarried last March23 and reported back May 6 this year but I havent received my maternity checks yet I sent email and demanded for it and reminded HR to issue my checks upon claiming my redundancy but their reply was they will try when I submitted my sss maternity notifications on time and its not my fault anymore if the comp&ben employee resigned by the time I filed my notification. My question is in case they do not issue my sss checks on june15 but asks me to sign release waiver and quitclaim should I sign it or of course not sign? What sould I do if they will still say they will try to submit bec they lost my forms so I provided them 3extra copies so they can follow up but it sounds negative coming fr HR that they will try "ihabol". Please help.
