The Social Security System (SSS) and Department of Labor and
Employment (DOLE) formalized their joint commitment to intensify employer
compliance and impose penalties on violators of labor and social security
policies through a memorandum of agreement (MOA) on information sharing that
covers SSS-related issues affecting workers employment.
Under the MOA, DOLE would provide the SSS
with a monthly summary of employees’ SSS-related Requests for Assistance
received under the labor department’s Single Entry Approach (SEnA) Program.
DOLE would also furnish copies of official records on final and executory
orders in all its labor standards involving employer violations of the Social
Security Law such as registration of employees, reporting and under reporting
of employees and non remittance or under remittance of SSS contributions. DOLE
would also give the contact details on
employment, employees and employers involved in such cases, and allow the SSS
to use pertinent documents such as Labor Compliance Inspection Reports and
transcripts and evidence obtained from DOLE adjudication hearings.
The SSS, on the other hand, through its
Operations Group Heads would coordinate with the DOLE Regional Directors within
their respective areas for appropriate action on the referred SSS cases. These
SSS Operations Group Heads would also update their respective DOLE Regional
Directors of the steps taken against the involved employers and SSS actions on
the workers’ requests for assistance relayed by DOLE. Photo shows SSS President
