Implementation
We confirm your pay elements, policies, statutory treatments, calendar, inputs and outputs before configuration and trial processing. Live service begins only after the agreed checks and approvals are complete.
Fees can be structured around an agreed employee volume and scope, with transparent treatment of additional employees or out-of-scope work.
Preparing to move your payroll
Start with a clear inventory of employee records, pay elements, leave and claim inputs, opening balances, reporting requirements and authorised contacts. Agree a cut-off calendar and a secure method of transferring data. Use trial results to resolve differences before signing off the transition.
Clear responsibilities, every month
Your team supplies approved changes and reviews payroll outputs. PET performs the processing and checks within the agreed scope. Confirm responsibility for statutory submissions, banking uploads, payment release and exception handling in the service agreement.

Common questions
How much does payroll outsourcing cost in Singapore?
Pricing depends on employee numbers, pay frequency, complexity, required reports and the agreed scope. Ask for a quotation that separates recurring processing, implementation and optional work.
Can we switch provider during the year?
A mid-year transition can be planned, subject to data availability and agreed checks. Prepare employee master data, year-to-date payroll records, pay elements, policies and prior outputs so the new process can be reconciled.
Who approves salary payments?
Your organisation retains approval and payment-release authority. Agree who supplies inputs, checks payroll results and authorises payments before the first live cycle.
What happens during a trial payroll run?
The proposed process is run using agreed input data, and results are compared with the existing process. Differences are investigated and resolved before the client approves live processing.
Can employees access payslips online?
PET offers e-Payslip as an employee document service. Confirm the required integration, historical records and access arrangements when defining your scope.

Singapore statutory and year-end scope
Singapore payroll services may include agreed CPF-related outputs, employee IR8A information, AIS employment-income reporting support and other applicable payroll documents. IRAS requirements should be checked for the relevant reporting year and employee circumstances. Where tax-clearance or other employer reporting workflows are included in scope, the preparation, review, submission and payment responsibilities should be agreed explicitly rather than assumed.
Plan your monthly payroll
Agree the input cut-off, review responsibilities and final approval before the first cycle. A clear handover includes employee movements, approved variable pay and changes to bank or statutory records.
