Retirement horizon
Who is at or approaching retirement age, what each is owed in terminal leave, and what the pension would approximately be — one register, derived from records you already hold.
What it does
- A row for each employee at or approaching retirement, carrying age, years of service, the date compulsory retirement falls on, and the date requirements are due by. Nobody else is listed: the register is the horizon, not the whole workforce.
- Compulsory or optional is a badge derived from the employee's own dates rather than a field anyone types. Where a date is missing the row is badged as such and counted into neither group, rather than being quietly reported as not yet due.
- Terminal leave benefit and monthly pension figured per employee, the pension labelled an estimate in its column heading and again in words beneath the table.
- The RA 10154 clock stated on the screen: requirements submitted no later than ninety days before the retirement date, benefits released within thirty days after it.
- Writes nothing. Every figure is arithmetic over employment dates, the salary and payslip history, and the vacation and sick leave ledger already on file.
What it does not do
The pension is an estimate and the screen says so twice. Confirm every figure with GSIS before advising anyone.
- GSIS computes a pension from the period an employee's premiums were actually paid. This approximates that from employment dates and payslip history.
- The two diverge on leave without pay, on prior government service, and on any period whose premiums went unremitted.
- The printable Service Record is prepared outside the system, and the screen says so. Its fill-up procedure is not obtainable.
- Two limits are recorded against the product but appear nowhere in it, so the screen would not teach you them.
- Retirement clearance routing is your agency's own, and is not modelled.
- The exclusion for an employee already drawing a permanent total disability pension is not applied. No data source exists for it.
- The provision letting an employee short of the service requirement continue past compulsory age is your agency's discretionary act. It is not modelled either.
- One wording on the screen is narrower than the rule behind it. The missing-date badge names the birth date, but is raised just as readily when the joining date is absent.
