Why Registered Enterprises Are Required to Register with the NSSF

In Cambodia, all employers with one or more employees are legally required to register their business and staff with the National Social Security Fund (NSSF). This crucial step not only ensures compliance with labor laws but also guarantees that employees receive essential social security benefits, including health coverage, maternity allowances, and work injury compensation. Whether you operate a retail outlet, factory, or service business, understanding your NSSF obligations will safeguard your workforce and enhance your business's reputation in Cambodia.

1. Fulfilling Legal Requirements
Cambodian law mandates that all employers with at least one employee must register with the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) within 30 days of starting business activities. New employees must be registered within three days of commencing employment. Failure to comply can result in monetary fines and legal penalties. This registration requirement is outlined in Prakas No. 168 and related regulations to ensure the transparency and legality of employment operations.
Important Deadlines:
• Business registration: Within 30 days of starting operations
• Employee registration: Within 3 days of employment start

2. Protecting Employee Welfare
Once registered, employees are entitled to social security benefits that cover health care, maternity leave allowances, and protection against occupational risks such as work injuries and diseases. 

3. Access to National Social Benefits
Registered employees receive NSSF membership cards granting access to free or subsidized medical services at network hospitals. Benefits include paid sick leave, maternity support, and compensation for work-related injuries, providing a vital safety net for workers.

Key Benefits for Registered Employees:

• NSSF membership card for identification
• Free or subsidized medical services at network hospitals
• Paid sick leave coverage
• Maternity support and allowances
• Work-related injury compensation
• Protection against occupational diseases

5. Strengthening Cambodia's Social System
By participating in the NSSF, employers contribute to Cambodia's broader social protection framework, helping reduce poverty, improve public health standards, and support sustainable economic development in line with national priorities.
