Frequently asked questions

How does Outstaffer handle SSS contributions for Philippines employees?

Outstaffer applies the current SSS employer contribution rate automatically across all Philippines contracts. When government rates change, contributions are updated and applied to both current and future arrangements without manual intervention.

Can I extend health benefits to employee dependents when hiring in the Philippines?

Yes. During the requisition or new hire process, companies can select health benefit coverage for additional dependents. This is currently available for Philippines hires and has been retroactively applied to existing employees who already have dependent coverage.

How does Outstaffer handle payroll compliance in the Philippines?

Outstaffer manages all mandatory statutory contributions for Philippines employees — including SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG — applying the latest government-mandated rates automatically. This removes the need for companies to track regulatory changes manually.
