1.2 Supplementary Reporting Period (only applies to contributions of long-term employee)

  • From the day that immediately follows the payment of the quarter’s contributions to the last day of the contribution month, employers who have hired a local long-term employee can still use the "Electronic Filing System" to supplement the employment information of the local long-term employee who simultaneously meets the following conditions:
    I.   The account holder can only supplement the employment information of employees who started or terminated employment within the last 14 days of the month preceding the contribution month;
    II.  During the supplementary reporting period, the account holder can only enter the employment start or end date once for each employee;
    III. It does not affect the information on the number and amount of contributions already reported for each employee during the “Reporting Period”.
     

2. Reporting Procedures

  • Users log in to Electronic Filing System within the ‘Reporting Period’ to report the staff change of long-term employees during the quarter/the number of casual workers’ work days in the working month.
  • After inputting the data, the user is required to click the “Save” button, check that the Employer Registration Number that you need to e-file is correct and click the “Confirm to Save” button, the System will then save the staff’s employment information entered and generate a “Report Version”.
  • After inputting the employment information of all employees for the quarter (long-term employees)/for the month (casual workers), the "master account" is required to click the "Submit" button during the reporting period, check that the Employer Registration Number that needs to e-file is correct and tick ("✓") the declaration "Having established a labour relationship with the employees" and click the “Confirm to Submit” button to submit the information to the Social Security Fund, in order to complete the reporting procedures for the quarter (long-term employees)/for the month (casual workers).
  • If the local long-term employees have no change during the quarter, the Contribution Payment Advice can be downloaded directly on the first day of the contribution month.
  • If an employer is not required to pay contributions for his/her long-term employee because he/she works less than 15 days in the month that employment starts or ends, the master account is still required to log in to Electronic Filing System within the corresponding reporting period or supplementary reporting period in order to enter the employment start/end date of the employee.
  • If the master account does not “submit” the employee data within the reporting period, he/she is required to visit a service point of the FSS in the contribution month for reporting the employment information of employees who work for the quarter (long-term employee)/the month (casual worker) and payment of contributions.
      

3. Beneficiary’s Enrollment

  • An employer who establishes a labour relationship with an employee for the first time must enroll the employee and pay contributions for him/her in the contribution month that immediately follows the start of relationship. Employers using the Electronic Filing Service can also enroll the employee who has never enrolled as a beneficiary of the FSS in the Electronic Filing System. The user can upload the scanned copy of the front and back of the employee’s Macao SAR Resident ID Card by completing the electronic version of the “Form for Enrollment of Beneficiary (Local Employee)” (must contain the declaration of employment signed by the employee), and declare that all the information filled in the form has been checked by the employee. After this step, the formalities of beneficiary enrollment can be considered complete.
