    Employers who fail to remit workers' Social Security System (SSS) contributions face stiffer penalties under a proposed bill. The bill seeks to help workers by enforcing that half of any fine imposed on delinquent employers be given to aggrieved employees. It aims to address the problem of non-remittance that has affected over 1 million workers since 2000, with estimated unremitted contributions of $3 billion. The bill increases penalties for employers, including fines from P250,000 to P500,000 plus additional P250,000 for every P100,000 withheld, and imprisonment from 8 to 30 years.
