Binan City – The Social Security System (SSS) has launched the “RACE” campaign (Run After Contribution Evaders), an initiative aimed at encouraging employers to comply with SSS regulations, particularly in the timely and accurate remittance of employee contributions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to Ms Rosario Bien, Acting Head of SSS Bi\u00f1an City Branch, this nationwide campaign is focused on addressing non-compliant employers\u2014those who fail to register their businesses with the SSS or do not remit the required contributions on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According Ms Bien, the primary goal of RACE is to ensure that Filipino workers receive the social protection benefits they are legally entitled to, including sickness, maternity, retirement, and other forms of assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Bien Also said that RACE is designed not only as an enforcement effort but also as an educational and support-driven initiative. It employs a mix of strategies, such as issuing written notices to erring employers and offering assistance to help them fulfill their obligations. The emphasis is on promoting voluntary compliance rather than punitive action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ms Bien reminds employers that failure to comply within 15 days of receiving a written notice could result in stiff penalties, including fines ranging from P5,000 to P20,000, and\/or imprisonment of six to 12 years under the Social Security Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Through the RACE campaign, the SSS reinforces its commitment to protecting Filipino workers while supporting businesses in meeting their legal responsibilities”, Ms Bien said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
