Posting Workers Abroad

Philippine companies seconding staff to ASEAN partner states, the Middle East or other overseas postings must navigate POEA/Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) documentation, determine whether seconded employees retain Philippine SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG coverage or enrol in the host-country scheme, and produce a paper trail that supports both the departure documentation and payroll accounting.

01
Obstacle

The company does not have a documented policy on whether seconded employees remain in the Philippine SSS/PhilHealth/Pag-IBIG scheme — leading to inconsistent treatment across different assignments and potential claims exposure.

Solution

Payroll module with per-assignment social security configuration that documents the applicable jurisdiction, generates the required contribution evidence and flags when host-country enrolment is required instead.

02
Obstacle

POEA/DMW Overseas Employment Certificates, work visas and assignment contracts are tracked in email threads — renewals are missed until the employee is already in the destination country.

Solution

Documented assignment workflow with deadline tracking and automated reminders for OEC renewals, visa expiry and contract extensions dispatched well in advance.

Overseas postings documented from day one

Social security jurisdiction, POEA/DMW compliance and deadline alerts under control.
