Understanding Deductions for Singapore

Global Payroll for Singapore is delivered with deductions to enable you take advantage of the flexibility of the Global Payroll rules to meet common processing requirements. For example, you can use the Leave Without Pay deduction element for an approved unpaid absence event occurring in the period.

Note: The User Key 2 on the Earnings Accumulators page and Deduction Accumulators page for all earnings and deductions is IRS VR BAL GRP (Balance Group ID). Use balance group IDs to maintain separate employee balances. Set an employee's balance group on JOB_DATA2.

In the following table, the first column combines the deductions name and description. A (gc) in the row indicates that the deduction has a generation control. A(po) indicates a post processing formula, (pr) indicates a pre processing formula. The other four columns indicate the deduction calculation rule of Unit × Rate, Unit × Rate × Percent, Amount.

Note: Two deductions—ESPP and LOAN PBCK—have a calculation rule of Base × % and the base is shown in the Unit column. The processing of some of the deductions codes are discussed in further detail in this topic.
