Singapore Payroll Compliance Guide — Compliance Details

Employers hiring in Singapore via an EOR must comply with the Employment Act, governed by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). The statutory employer contribution to the Central Provident Fund (CPF) is approximately 17% of an employee’s ordinary wages. Payroll is almost exclusively processed monthly. A critical risk is the misclassification of employees as contractors, which voids mandatory CPF and benefits.

Note: PayDD provides payment disbursement services in Singapore. Employment compliance and local tax obligations remain the responsibility of the hiring company.
