Are CPF contributions payable on salary deductions?
You can deduct your employee’s salary for specific reasons only. The authorised salary deductions are listed in the Employment Act.
Where employee worked a complete month and is entitled to full salary
CPF contributions are computed on the full salary payable to your employee before the deduction of moneys he owed you, e.g. due to damage or loss of money or goods, recovery of loans.
Example:
Your employee’s monthly salary is $2,000 but he has to repay you $50 due to a lost good. CPF contributions are payable on $2,000 before deducting $50 from his nett wages.
