The Joint Centre for Social Security (CCSS) is calling this a “key step in its strategy of digitalisation and administrative simplification and, beyond that, for the Social Security system as a whole”, following the launch of its online services in the professional area of MyGuichet.lu, announced on Wednesday 22 October.
The new digital offering is aimed at employers and their agents. It is part of “a global vision: to roll out the online services offered by the CCSS, which will gradually pave the way for other social security institutions”, the organisation assures in a press release.
“Lightening the load” for employers
The stated aim is to “simplify procedures and make exchanges more secure, with a clear objective: to lighten the administrative burden on employers and their agents while bringing the institution closer to its client-users”, continues the CCSS, which adds that “employers still using paper forms will now be able to access centralised and simplified online management”.
As for them, “employers and their agents who use the SECUline platform will retain their usual method of declaration while being able to access additional services”.
As far as temporary employment agencies, non-salaried workers and farmers are concerned, they “will have access to these services at a later date”, although there is no precise timetable.
How does it work?
“Under the Health & Social Security heading, online services are grouped into four areas of activity”, says the CCSS. These are as follows: affiliations (entry/exit declarations, certificate providing information on the number of employees employed…); wages and incapacity to work (declaration of wages and incapacity to work, certificate providing information on the wage bill….); calculation, invoicing and accounting (contributor account balance, payments, certificate for public tender…); employer data (consultation of MDE, AAA, STM parameters, SECUline membership).
