1. Will CPF be included if I'm working as a temp/contract/perm?
CPF contributions must be paid monthly for all employees according to the rates set out

According to CPF Act, "CPF contributions are payable for part-time/casual employees whose

working on a part-time/temporary basis except for the following groups of:

  • tertiary students on full-time industrial attachment
  • tertiary student employed under a training programme approved by their institutions
  • students on training attachments in Singapore for less than 6 months, as part of
    their overseas tertiary education requirements
  • "N" or "O" level students working during their gazetted school holidays. However, if they have completed school after "N" or "O" levels, CPF is payable from January of the following year, after their final exams
  • "A" level students who have not completed their final "A" level examinations and working during their gazetted school holidays. CPF is, however, payable for students who have completed their final "A" level examinations in November / December."

The exceptions for payment of CPF for employees are as follow:

  • Foreigners on Employment Pass, Professional Visit Pass or Work Permit
  • Partners, Sole-Proprietorships and the Self-Employed
