Philippines Payroll Compliance Guide — Compliance Details

Employers hiring in the Philippines must comply with the Labor Code, enforced by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE). Statutory employer contributions to the Social Security System (SSS), PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG Fund total approximately 9-11% of monthly salary. Payroll is typically processed semi-monthly. A key risk is the misclassification of regular employees, which triggers severe penalties for unpaid mandatory benefits like 13th-month pay.

Note: PayDD provides payment disbursement services in Philippines. Employment compliance and local tax obligations remain the responsibility of the hiring company.
