Frequently Asked Questions

Still have questions? Contact our Singapore team via

contact@ramco.com

What is payroll software used for in Singapore?
Payroll software in Singapore calculates employee earnings, applies CPF, SDL and self-help group fund contributions, generates IR8A and Appendix 8A returns, and submits employment income to IRAS through the Auto-Inclusion Scheme every March. The system removes spreadsheet risk and supports audit-ready Singapore payroll across multiple entities.
How does payroll software help with CPF compliance?
The system applies age-band contribution rates, enforces the S$8,000 Ordinary Wage ceiling, tracks the Additional Wage ceiling annually, and submits monthly CPF files before the 14th of the following month. This eliminates manual rate updates, late-payment interest of 1.5% per month and reconciliation errors across pay groups.
Can payroll software automate salary calculations?
Yes. Ramco Payce computes gross pay, prorations for joiners and leavers, allowances, statutory deductions, and net salary across all Singapore pay groups. The platform applies rounding rules, GIRO file formatting, and bank-mandated layouts automatically, so payroll teams can review outputs rather than rebuild calculations each cycle.
Does payroll software support tax reporting requirements in Singapore?
Yes. The platform generates IR8A, Appendix 8A, IR8S, and IR21 forms, and then submits employment income information to IRAS via the Auto-Inclusion Scheme API by the 1 March deadline. Tax clearance for departing foreign employees automatically triggers the generation of IR21 before the final pay date.
Can employees access payslips online?
Yes. Employees access itemised payslips through a secure self-service portal on web and mobile devices that meets MOM Employment Act content requirements. Staff can also download IR8A copies, CPF contribution statements, leave balances, and historical pay records at any time, significantly reducing routine HR helpdesk queries.
Is payroll software suitable for SMEs and large enterprises?
Ramco Payce targets enterprise employers with workforces of 5,000 or more, as well as complex multi-entity SME groups operating across Singapore. The platform scales from a single local entity to a multi-country regional footprint without changing tenants, supporting growth from headquarters expansion into wider Asia operations.
How secure is cloud-based payroll software?
Ramco operates on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure with encryption applied in transit and at rest, strict role-based access controls, and detailed audit trails. Regular vulnerability assessments and penetration testing protect sensitive employee, salary and CPF data across every Singapore tenant and regional entity that you operate.
Can payroll software integrate with HR and attendance systems?
Yes. Pre-built connectors link Ramco Payce with Workday, SAP SuccessFactors, Oracle HCM and major attendance platforms used by Singapore employers. Open APIs support custom integrations with biometric devices, bespoke leave management tools and finance systems for general ledger postings after every Singapore payroll run.
