Every business industry cannot escape the need for manpower, and yes, salaries or compensation comes in.
In the Philippines, salaries, wages, compensations, or whatever the term that is called out of income from human labor is being integrated by the government mandate for what is known as employee benefits. Examples for these are SSS, Philhealth, Pag-ibig or HDMF. Now, let’s talk about SSS.
Another thing is that the SSS also offers loan services to members and as well as maternity benefits to pregnant women. When it comes to deceased persons, SSS also facilitates death benefits and will also give a certain amount to the dependents of the deceased until it reaches the legal age of 18 years old.

How to know the amount of contribution?
· The SSS provides the table for the contribution that serves as the guide of what amount of contribution are you going to pay base on your salary range.
