Under Philippine labor law, the moment a corporation hires its first employee, it must register as an employer with the three statutory social benefit agencies.
Integrated Registration via Philippine Business Hub
When registering your company via SEC eSPARC, the system interfaces with the Philippine Business Hub (PBH). This automatically issues pre-reserved employer registration numbers for:
- SSS (Social Security System): Provides worker disability, sickness, retirement, and death benefits.
- PhilHealth (Philippine Health Insurance Corporation): Covers employee medical and hospitalization benefits.
- Pag-IBIG Fund (HDMF): Manages housing loan and provident savings programs.
Mandatory Post-Registration Step:
Within 30 days of receiving your employer numbers, log in to each agency’s online portal (SSS Employer Portal, PhilHealth EPRS, and Pag-IBIG Online) to register your business account, submit initial employee rosters (Form R-1A / ER2), and set up monthly contribution processing.
