A calmer month-end
starts before payday.
A practical preparation checklist for Singapore HR and payroll teams, with links to official guidance.
Resolve time exceptions
Review missing clock records, leave, overtime inputs, and claim approvals with the relevant managers.
Review pay components
Separate salary, allowances, approved claims, deductions, and other payments for the appropriate review.
1. Verify CPF treatment
CPF treatment depends on factors including citizenship or PR status, age, and wages. Use current CPF Board employer guidance and the official calculator; do not assume one rate applies to every employee.
2. Review payslip information
Check your payslip format against MOM’s itemised payslip guidance, including relevant pay periods, pay components, and deductions.
3. Maintain the supporting records
Make sure employee and salary records support the run. Read MOM’s employment records guidance for applicable recordkeeping requirements.
4. Keep annual reporting in view
Confirm whether your organisation participates in the Auto-Inclusion Scheme and which employment-income records it must prepare. Check IRAS AIS participation guidance and maintain an owner for the annual reporting handoff.
5. Review, approve, then execute
Separate preparation from approval, investigate unexpected changes, and reconcile the completed run. Never treat an illustrative software preview as a statutory calculation or a payment instruction.
This checklist is general information, not legal, tax, or payroll advice. Verify current rules and your circumstances with the relevant authority or qualified adviser. Coden’s demo does not make statutory submissions.
Prepare the handoff as a team
Use the attendance-to-payroll checklist with location managers, then use the HRMS vendor scorecard to evaluate how your next system supports the review.
