Summary

Based on Singapore's CPF regulations, CPF contributions are payable to Singapore Citizens (SC) and Singapore Permanent Residents (PR) who are:

  • Working in Singapore under a Contract of Service

  • Employed on a permanent, part-time, or casual basis

  • Earning more than $50/month

The following are also automatically included in the CPF file generated by Payboy:
