• In Singapore, local and foreign employees who are working under a contract of service are covered by the Employment Act. The Employment Act does not cover employees who are managers/executives, seamen, domestic workers, or government employees. Part 4 of the Employment Act (which covers rest days, hours of work, and overtime) is only relevant to employees earning less than $2,600, or workmen who earn less than $4,500 per month.
• The employee group field is used to determine what CPF rate will be applied to the employee.

• If qualifications are listed here, it is because the employee’s organisation has added them. A toggle will appear beside each qualification. Simply click the toggle next to the qualification(s) you wish to display, and it will be added to the employee profile.
