Have questions about HR and payroll outsourcing in Singapore? Below are the most common questions our clients ask about CPF submissions, work pass management, HR compliance, and Elevate Payroll’s services.
1. What is payroll outsourcing in Singapore, and how does it benefit Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs)?
Payroll outsourcing allows SMEs in Singapore to delegate their payroll processing to a professional third-party provider like Elevate Payroll to handle their payroll, CPF submissions, tax filing (IR8A), and payslip generation. This ensures compliance with MOM and IRAS regulations, while freeing up time and reducing internal workload.
