Negosentro | UTOL partners with SSS to provide driver’s/operator’s benefits | Unified Transport Operations League (UTOL), an all Filipino ride-hailing transport network company (TNC) partnered recently with the Social Security System(SSS) to enable UTOL to subsidize the SSS monthly premiums of its drivers/operators.
For this special subsidy, SSS designed a new program to accommodate the needs of the company that has no employer-employee set-up with its drivers/operators. With this unique arrangement with SSS , UTOL becomes a pioneer in the transport industry being the first Transport Network Company (TNC) to subsidize and provide SSS benefits for its drivers/operators.
To qualify, drivers have to go online with the UTOL app and has to be active for a specific number of hours daily. In addition, drivers/operators are required to meet minimum standards set up by UTOL for its drivers/operators. They should be well-disciplined, good mannered, and has no bad record with law enforcement agencies.
This is a welcome development since UTOL will take care of their monthly remittances and premium costs while drivers/operators can concentrate on their work and be able to earn more.
UTOL’s move to provide SSS subsidy is such an invaluable benefit for the drivers /operators. More importantly, when they reach their retirement age, they have SSS pension and other benefits to look forward to.
