Employer liability refers to the legal and financial responsibility employers bear under the Social Security Act. This includes registering employees, remitting contributions, submitting reports, and ensuring benefit documents are filed correctly and on time.
Employers who violate SSS rules may face fines, penalties, interest charges, and even criminal prosecution. Liability also extends to failing to notify SSS of employee illnesses, maternity cases, or workplace accidents.
Understanding employer liability helps businesses avoid compliance issues and ensures that employees maintain continuous eligibility for SSS benefits.
