For SSS, okay lang ba i-submit yung employment history na table with start and end dates? Eto lang kasi yung may name ng company. Yung monthly contribution records kasi ay walang company name nakalagay, yung amount lang.
Thanks!

Hello,
Anybody from ACN had the same issue regarding the employee reference?
Since the document from ACN only has the company seal and addressed from the HR department, did you have any issues using it for assessment?

For most ex acn employees here, we used statutory declaration along with generic CoE and letter of non-issuance of job description (both from HR). What was the content of your letter? If it didn't have roles and responsibilities, then no, you can't really use it alone.

I requested for a more detailed CoE from ACN awhile back, it follows the generic CoE format with JD, Hours, and salary details added. I'm trying to get ACN to provide further documents now to validate it

"awhile back" was what year? Maybe acn is now issuing such document and you're among the first ones to submit hence ACS needed more details. I meant they might be used to seeing stat dec for assessments submitted with acn as employer. Coz from 2022, talagang di sila nag iissue ng employment letter with JDs.

I've gotten one from ACN around Sep 2023 but lacked some details, and requested a new one around March 2024. I actually found out from this thread, I had the non-issuance of JD from ACN before too.
Might be one of the first to use it, so I'm getting another letter from ACN to validate it

hello po, just wanted to ask, is there any chance ACS will accept employment references without salary amount indicated? Thank you in advance.

i submitted last year and ACS did not require salary amount in the employment ref, unless they change their requirements this year. double check mo na lang sa website ni ACS.

Hello, to those who recently applied for assessment with ACS.
Aside from the passport, I will be using my UMID as my secondary ID. However, in the ID verification step in ACS, expiration date is mandatory, which UMID does not have. Anyone who used UMID or National ID? What expiration date did you enter?
Joined: Jan 13, 2024
I applied last March and used my UMID. I can't seem to find the requirement that the IDs should have an expiry date. Did they change it recently?
This was the instruction for the process last month:

Walang requirement, but sa website nila expiry date is a mandatory field. I wonder how others did theirs, kasi even National ID will not have an expiry date. I don’t have a driver’s license, too.
I emailed ACS asking if I can put a date far into the future as the expiration date, explaining that UMID doesn’t expire. Still waiting for feedback.

Hello, if gagamitin ug SSS employment history as payment evidence. Pwede ba siya gamitin as both for start and end? Effective date lang kasi ung table sa website.
If hindi, pwede ba ung contribution table sa pagibig? Although di ko pa makita ung last contribution dun sa old employer since nagpapa consolidate pa ako.

yung ginawa ko, sss sa start date tapos pagibig sa end date. mas madali i-highlight yung period covered, imo.

Nakaturbo mode ngayon ACS skills assessment (old assessment 1 nominated occupation - last day of filling).** Nakuha ko agad after 2 weeks!**
Basahin niyo lang mabuti yun guide at sa payment evidence naka 2 form 2316 lang ako (star at end) at sss contribution screenshot (start and end).
Sa id naman passport, umid, at birth cert lang.
Lodge niyo na agad EOI niyo guys basa lang ng mabuti. Paunahan nalang sa Australia in a year!!!

Buti umabot ka sa old website. May issue ngayon sa ID verification step sa new ACS website. Ang weird.
Mandatory field kasi yung expiration date sa ID, and ang instructions, kapag walang expiration date and ID, today's date yung ilalagay. When I tried it, nageerror naman, expired na daw yung ID, kahit nakalagay naman sa instructions na today's date ilalagay! Nag email ako sa kanila until now waiting pa din ako ng feedback. Stuck ako sa step na to.

Bug siguro nila yun. Mas madali sa old assessment basta shoot lahat lang docs.

Thanks @aethos @mathilde9 for answering my queries a few weeks back. Got my positive assessment today!
Para sure, I made the 1st page of each PDF file an explanation for what the file was. Especially that I was lacking some docs like the payslips:
