Understanding RA 10361 (Batas Kasambahay)
Republic Act 10361, also known as the Domestic Workers Act or Batas Kasambahay, requires employers to register their kasambahay with SSS, PhilHealth, and Pag-IBIG and to pay the employer share of contributions. For kasambahay earning below P5,000 per month, the employer pays the full SSS contribution. Employers must also provide 13th month pay, at least 5 days of service incentive leave per year, and comply with regional minimum wage orders.
How to Register Your Kasambahay
- SSS — Register at sss.gov.ph or any SSS branch. Employer and kasambahay each need an SSS number.
- PhilHealth — Register at philhealth.gov.ph or any PhilHealth office. The premium is split equally between employer and employee.
- Pag-IBIG — Register at pagibigfund.gov.ph or any Pag-IBIG branch. Standard contribution is P100 each for salaries up to P5,000.
