SSS compulsory coverage kahit na anong employment status

GOOD day! I am the HR head in a construction company. A former worker of ours went to US and is now asking for some help. Nagtrabaho po siya sa loob ng tatlong buwan na sakop po ng under probation namin then nag-stop na po siya. He requested us to pay his SSS when he was still with us way back 2014. Hindi naman namin siya kinaltasan kasi under probation pa lang siya. I just want to ask DOLE if we have liability on it? Do we need to pay his SSS?

REPLY: Para sa inyong katanungan Mr. Eduardo, sakop ng compulsory coverage, regardless of employment status provided there is employer-employee relationship.

SSS Compulsory Coverage of Employees:
A private sector employee, whether permanent, temporary or provisional, who is not over 60 years old.

A household-helper earning at least P1,000 a month is compulsorily covered starting Sept. 1, 1993.

A household-helper is any person who renders domestic or household services exclusively to a household employer such as maid, gardener, cook, governess, and other similar occupations, who is not a member of the family of the household employer (HR) or his/her spouse.

A Filipino seafarer upon actual deployment by the manning agency which, together with the foreign ship owner, act as employers.

An employee of a foreign government, international organization or their wholly-owned instrumentality based in the Philippines, which entered into an administrative agreement with the SSS for the coverage of its Filipino workers.
