Software Engineer in the Philippines since 2016, questions about ACS requirement

tengceng · January 2023

I read the Australian Computer Society requirements for membership. I saw that I need a copy of my payslips from my previous employer, I've jumped between companies a couple of times and never really bothered about my payslips except for my recent employers. With those missing, may chance pa ba ako maka apply? I just turned 31 last October.

You can use you SSS , Philhealth and Pagibig record Contributions (which are accessible online) as payment evidences.

You can call them, ganyan din ako dati. They were able to email me old pay slips naman.

Pwede din ITR/BIR 2316 kung naitabi mo.

If you can sir, contact your previous employers. I'm a jumper too before my current. Nahirapan din po ako sa pagkuha ng payslip kasi since 2011 pa un sa akin. Pero itry mo sir kasi sa tingin ko, mas ok kung completo mo payment evidences mo(payslips, ITRs, pagibig, sss and philhealth).

Just to add lang din, nung una kung submit ng requirements kay ACS meron akong years na kulang un payslips ko(2016-2017). Hindi sinama ni ACS un year na yan sa total experience ko kahit may ITR ako and pagibig, etc. Kaya hinahanap ko talaga yung payslips ko para sa year na yan. Buti nahanap ko and then nag submit ule ako ng requirements for review ni ACS. Luckily, naconsider sya after ko isubmit un missing payslips and nakakuha ako ng mas mataas na years of experience. Yun nga lang nagbayad ule ako for review.

Nung 2016 to 2017 po ba sir iba-iba po ba ang employer nyo po? Base kasi sa skills assessment guidelines ng ACS na nirelease Dec 2021 hindi na po need per year yung payment evidence kung same employer. Only start and last payment evidence only.

"- Changes in payment evidence requirements. We now only require the evidence to cover the start and end of employment and not every year (section 2.7)"

Kasama po siya sa current ko kaso hindi sinama ni ACS un year na yan dahil kulang sa payment evidence. For example, sa current ko. 7 years na ako sa kanila, pero ang kinonsider lang ni ACS is ung 2018 to 2022 since kulang ako ng payslips. Buti nalang nahanap ko and nagpa-review ako, luckily sinama nila mula nun nag-start ako sa current ko. In short, nakuha ko un 7 years na exp ko sa current ko.

Meron akong 2 missing companies na hindi ko kinuhanan ng payslips back in 2018-2019 sadly. I tried contacting them but they said they don't keep old records.
