Practice question
A private employee begins covered work, but the employer delays sending her SSS report for several months and insists that coverage cannot begin until its paperwork is filed. The employment and statutory coverage conditions are established. Which is best?
- The employer may choose any commencement date
- Coverage always begins only after the first claim is denied
- Registration delay permanently cancels the worker’s rights
- Only self-employed workers can ever be compulsorily covered
- For a covered employee the statutory starting point is the day of employment; employer reporting delay does not convert it into a discretionary date
