Exceptions:
Equivalent to 25% of the hourly rate of 100% or total of 125% per hour.
Ex. P89.00/day ÷ 8 = P11.125/hour ÷ 25% thereof (P2.78125) or P11.125/hour x 125% = P13.90625 O.T./Hr.
B. Overtime pay for work on rest days or non – working special holidays
Equivalent to 30% of the hourly rate of 130% or a total of 169% per hour.
Ex. P89.00/day ÷ 30% thereof (26.70) = P115.70/day ÷ 8 = P14.4625/hr.
P14.4625/hr. ÷ 30% thereof (P4.33875)
or P89.00/day ÷ 8 = P11.125/hr. x 169% (1.69) = P18.80125 O.T./Hr.
C. Overtime pay for work on rest days which is also non – working special holidays
Equivalent to 30% of the Hourly rate of 150% or a total of 195% per hour.
Ex. P89.00/day ÷ 50% thereof (P44.50 = P133.50/day ÷ 8 = P16.6875/hr.
P16.6875/hr ÷ 30% thereof (P5.00)
P89.00/day ÷ 8 = P11.125/hr. x 195% (1.95) = P21.69375 O.T./Hr.
Equivalent to 30% of the hourly rate of 200% or a total of 260% per hour.
Ex. P89.00/day ÷ 100% thereof (P89.00) = P178.00 + 8 = P22.25/hr. = 30% thereof (P6.675)
Or P89.00/day ÷ 8 = P11.125/hr. x 260% (2.60) = P28.925 O.T.R./Hr.
E. Overtime pay for work on legal (Regular) holidays falling on employee’s rest day
Equivalent to 30% of the hourly rate of 260% or a total of 338% per hour.
Ex. P89.00/day ÷ 100% thereof (P89.00) = P178.00 + 30% thereof (P53.40) = P231.40/day
P231.40/day ÷ 8 = P28.925/hr. ÷ 30% thereof (P8.6775)
or P89.00/day ÷ 8 = P11.125/hr. x 338% (3.38) = P37.6025 O.T.H./hr.
Stipulated Overtime Rates - Generally, the premium pay for
work performed on the employee’s rest days or on special
non – working holidays or legal (Regular) holidays days are
included as part of the regular rate of the employee in the
computation of overtime pay for any overtime work rendered
on said days, especially if the employer pays only the
minimum overtime rates prescribed by law. The employees
and the employer, however, may stipulate in their individual or
collective agreement the payment of overtime rates higher
that those provided by law and exclude the premium
payments in the computation of overtime pay. Such
agreement may be considered valid only if stipulated
overtime pay rates will yield to the employees not less than
the premium prescribed by law.

To the Employee
The employee is still entitled to SS benefits even if the employer fails or refuses to remit
the SSS contributions.
To the Employer
An employer who does not report temporary or provisional employees is violating the
SS law. The employer is liable to the employees and must:
pay the benefits of those who die, become disabled , get sick or reach retirement age;
pay all unpaid contributions plus a penalty of three percent per month; and
be held liable for a criminal offense punishable by fine and/or imprisonment.
In the case of the covered Non-Working Spouse, if he/she later becomes employed, self-
employed or an OFW, the membership shall be reclassified accordingly as employed or
self-employed or OFW
2. What should I do if there are changes in my personal record?
Casual employment
Government service
Employment of single proprietor in his own business
No. When a person registers and is covered for SSS membership, he/she becomes a
member for life.
8. Even during such time that the member fails to remit contributions, the benefits
and loan privileges provided by SSS can still be availed of, as long as the member
meets the qualifying conditions for entitlement thereto.
9. When a member loses the SS card or cannot remember the SS number, should the
member secure another SS number?
No. The SS number assigned to a member is the lifetime number and must always be
used in all transactions with the SSS. If the member wishes to replace a lost SS ID
card or cannot remember his/her SS number, it is advisable to inquire from the
nearest SSS branch. The member should never secure another number, as having
multiple SS numbers will cause delays in the processing of future benefit claims and
loan applications. If a member has more than one SS number, he/she should visit the
SSS servicing branch to request for the cancellation of the other number/s and the
consolidation of all contributions under the retained number. From then on, the
retained SS number should be used in all transactions with the SSS.
10. Who are considered the primary beneficiaries of a member?
The primary beneficiaries of a member are the legitimate dependent spouse until he or
she remarries, the dependent legitimate, legitimated or legally adopted, and illegitimate
children, who are not yet 21 years old.
If the member is single and without children, the benefits will go to the dependent parents
who are considered the secondary beneficiaries. In the absence of both primary and
secondary beneficiaries, any other person designated by the member in his/her SSS
records shall be considered as the beneficiary.
A member may opt to continue paying the total contributions as a voluntary member to
maintain such right to full benefits. In case of re-employment with the private sector, one
can stop paying as a voluntary member and resume payment of contributions as an
employee-member through the subsequent employer.
In case of re-employment with the public sector wherein one will be covered by the
Government Service Insurance System (GSIS), he/she may opt to continue paying SSS
contributions as a voluntary member to enjoy social security benefits under both
institutions.
What is the Employees’ Compensation Commission (ECC)?
The ECP is a social insurance program designed to provide workers with protection from income
loss as a result of work-connected sickness, disability, or death. It covers both private and public
sector workers with employer-employee relationship. The Social Security System (SSS)
administers the ECP for private sector while the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS)
administers the ECP for state workers including uniformed personnel of the Armed Forces of the
Philippines (AFP), Philippine National Police (PNP), Bureau of Jail Management and Penology
(BJMP), and Bureau of Fire Protection (BFP), members of the judiciary and constitutional
commissions. It also provides not only income security but other critical services during a trying
moment in an individual’s lifecycle. As a key social protection program in the Philippines, it
contributes in the over-all effort to prevent or alleviate poverty, vulnerability, and social exclusion
towards improving the quality of life of workers and their families as part of our roadmap to
achieving decent work and competitiveness.
The Employees’ Compensation Program State Insurance Fund paid P944 million worth of
benefits to employees of the private sector and government who met work-related sickness,
injury and death, through its administering agencies, the Social Security System (SSS) and
the Government Service Insurance System (GSIS). The EC benefits also granted for the first
three quarters of 2015 by the SSS amounted to P817.97 million for the payment of 186,822
claims. The bulk of payments is for death pension benefit claims which totalled to P638.31
million. Other benefit payments included sickness benefits which reached P77.68 million,
P83.067 million for disability benefits, P11.90 million for medical services, P6.17 million for
funeral benefits and P851,865 for rehabilitation services.Overall, the benefits released to the
private sector employees were up by 7% from P763.823 million in the same period in 2014.
On the other hand, GSIS granted a total of P126.17 million EC benefits for 21,988 claims from
public sector employees, an increase by 24%compared to the first 3 quarters of 2014.
Sickness benefits granted amounted to P1.214 million; disability benefits, P8.308 million;
medical services, P9.183 million; funeral benefit claims were worth P1.511 million; and
rehabilitation services worth P52,954. Claims for survivorship benefits comprised the biggest
amount at P105.902 million. The increase in the amount of EC benefits to public and private
sector workers was expected because of the series of increase of EC benefits from 2012 until
2015 and incessant promotion of the ECP among government employees, including the
uniformed personnel from the Philippine National Police (PNP), Armed Forces of the
Philippines (AFP), Bureau of Jail Management and Penology (BJMP) and Bureau of Fire
Protection (BFP). Survivorship benefits comprised the highest share or 79% of the total
benefits disbursement in the EC benefit payments made both by the SSS and by the GSIS.
The EC-SIF available for payment of future EC claims in both private and public sector
amounts to P49.69 billion as of September 30, 2015.

Article 128 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of Articles 129 and 217 of this Code to the
contrary, and in cases where the relationship of employer-employee still exists, the Secretary
of Labor and Employment or his duly authorized representatives shall have the power to
issue compliance orders to give effect to the labor standards provisions of this Code and
other labor legislation based on the findings of labor employment and enforcement officers or
industrial safety engineers made in the course of inspection. The Secretary or his duly
authorized representative shall issue writs of execution to the appropriate authority for the
enforcement of their orders, except in cases where the employer contests the findings of the
labor employment and enforcement officer and raises issues supported by documentary
proofs which were not considered in the course of inspection.
Visitorial power. — The Secretary of Labor and Employment or his duly authorized
representatives, including Labor Regulations Officers or Industrial Safety Engineers, shall
have access to employer's records and premises at any time of the day or night whenever
work is being undertaken therein, and right to copy therefrom, to question any employee, and
to investigate any fact, condition or matter relevant to the enforcement of any provision of the
Code and of any labor law, wage order or rules and regulations issued pursuant thereto.
Enforcement power. — The Regional Director in cases where employer relations shall exist,
shall have the power to order and administer, after due notice and hearing, compliance with
the labor standards provisions of the Code and other labor legislations based on the findings
of the Labor Regulation Officers or Industrial Safety Engineers (Labor Standard and Welfare
Officer) and made in the course of inspection, and to issue writs of execution to the
appropriate authority of the enforcement of his order.
.
Under Art. 128(b) of the Labor Code, as amended by RA 7730, the DOLE
is fully empowered to make a determination as to the existence of an
employer-employee relationship in the exercise of its visitorial and
enforcement power, subject to judicial review, not review by the NLRC.
There is a view that despite Art. 128(b) of the Labor Code, as amended
by RA 7730, there is still a threshold amount set by Arts. 129 and 217 of
the Labor Code when money claims are involved, i.e., that if it is for PhP
5,000 and below, the jurisdiction is with the regional director of the
DOLE, under Art. 129, and if the amount involved exceeds PhP 5,000, the
jurisdiction is with the labor arbiter, under Art. 217. The view states that
despite the wording of Art. 128(b), this would only apply in the course of
regular inspections undertaken by the DOLE, as differentiated from
cases under Arts. 129 and 217, which originate from complaints. There
are several cases, however, where the Court has ruled that Art. 128(b)
has been amended to expand the powers of the DOLE Secretary and his
duly authorized representatives by RA 7730. In these cases, the Court
resolved that the DOLE had the jurisdiction, despite the amount of the
money claims involved. Furthermore, in these cases, the inspection
held by the DOLE regional director was prompted specifically by a
complaint. Therefore, the initiation of a case through a complaint does
not divest the DOLE Secretary or his duly authorized representative of
jurisdiction under Art. 128(b).
To recapitulate, if a complaint is brought before the DOLE to give
effect to the labor standards provisions of the Labor Code or other
labor legislation, and there is a finding by the DOLE that there is an
existing employer-employee relationship, the DOLE exercises
jurisdiction to the exclusion of the NLRC. If the DOLE finds that there
is no employer-employee relationship, the jurisdiction is properly with
the NLRC. If a complaint is filed with the DOLE, and it is accompanied
by a claim for reinstatement, the jurisdiction is properly with the Labor
Arbiter, under Art. 217(3) of the Labor Code, which provides that the
Labor Arbiter has original and exclusive jurisdiction over those cases
involving wages, rates of pay, hours of work, and other terms and
conditions of employment, if accompanied by a claim for
reinstatement. If a complaint is filed with the NLRC, and there is still
an existing employer-employee relationship, the jurisdiction is
properly with the DOLE. The findings of the DOLE, however, may still
be questioned through a petition for certiorari under Rule 65 of the
Rules of Court. (People’s Brodcasing Service (Bombo Radyo Phils.,
