sean, are you sure it's capped at 4500? Meaning the cpf 20% deduction is up to 900 max? does this max amount apply to the 15% employer CPF contribution?
Yup, I'm sure. It's part of the CPF legislation (you can check out their website).

And yes, it applies both ways ie. the employer's contribution is capped at a maximum eligible salary of 4500 as well.

Just a question, is there any penalty fee or 'black-mark' if I resign from my post in 3 months or between 3-6months? I currently hold Working Permit only, not S Pass.

Also, is the Government had increase the requirement for S Pass Permit?

I am currently working as Customer Service Assistance, cashing in less than $1,500 a month. I just graduate so I took up this job first and on the look-out for better paid job. I'm holding a degree.

yeah i think 1.5k is low for a degree holder....should be getting at least 2k above for a degree holder...

last from what i heard to get a S pass you have to earn at least 2.5k or 3.5k.....cannot remember which ones coz mine was done by the company....

Erm. For E/S Pass, he should refer to MOM, not ICA. biggrin.gif
ICA all regarding about immigration, PR, etc.

S pass requirement min is $1800
E pass requirement min is $2500

I am degree holder, on probation period now at $1850. sad.gif

Tuas jam, but not as bad during the period of mas selamat. Now the jam is still consider okay, less than 30 min you can clear already. And it is much better than Woodland causeway. Morever, just go and apply for access card, you won't need to queue at the check point, less crowd.

Whats MDR? I have a fren who just got work in the admin department for one company, she starting out 1650 but it maybe just probation, the funny thing is that her employer give her work permit only. I thought she would get at least an S Pass or EP since she has a degree in mass com from the UK.

Just 2 ask, getting a work permit, s pass or ep is it dependent solely on your qualifications or whether or not your employer preference to apply for you either one?
