Summary

Pay Scheme templates allow you to set up different types of pay schemes to select from when on-boarding your new employee.

It is important to set the Pay Scheme template properly, in order to:

  • Ensure accurate calculation of the employee's overtime pay on his work day/non-work day/holiday.

  • Keep up with Employment Act mandate by MOM Singapore.

Accessing and viewing Pay Scheme Templates

  • Select the type of work hours that your employee has to work in.
    Fixed Work Days: Your employee has a set of fixed work days every week. e.g. Monday to Friday.

    1. Checking overtime pay brings up a pop-up where you can set a base hourly rate for overtime work. The other settings available depend on the type of the pay scheme set earlier
    2. You can decide whether the working day rate differs when working on normal days, non-working days or holidays
