Employers are required to register as enterprises and to register their staff, then pay the corresponding social security contributions. When the employer does not do this, the employees may do it themselves. What has been found in practice is that many employers either do not register themselves or their staff, as a result of which the latter cannot access the social security benefits provided by the National Social Insurance Fund (Caisse nationale de prévoyance sociale – CNPS). The aim of the online registration programme is to make it easier for employers and workers to register themselves. They can register on line wherever they are via the CNPS internet site – the Online Registration Platform (pre-registration as an insured person or an employer). They can then hand in their physical files to the social insurance centre of their choice within 30 days to confirm the completed online registration that is recorded in the system. This procedure will make it possible henceforth for the CNPS, employers and workers jointly to control the registration process. Since its implementation, this initiative has made it possible for 7,287 workers to register on line.
