Itemised Payslips Required by Singapore Ministry of Manpower (MOM)

Posted on April 13, 2015 by Stephen Jagger

“The Ministry of Manpower (MOM), the National Trades Union Congress (NTUC) and Singapore National Employers Federation (SNEF) have developed a set of Tripartite Guidelines on the issuance of itemised payslips, as a first step towards supporting this progressive workplace practice. The tripartite partners agree that the provision of itemised payslips to employees is a good employment practice which raises employees’ awareness of their salary components. It also facilitates the resolution of salary disputes. MOM’s intent is to eventually mandate the issuance of itemised payslips within the next two years.” (via MOM)

Is your company prepared? Are you currently giving your employees itemised payslips?

PayrollHero can help. When you run a Singapore payroll via PayrollHero our platform automatically generates the payslips as well as emails them to all employees. The process is quick and easy and ensures employees are in the know with how much they were paid and what the deductions were.

Private Polymer Workshop in Singapore

Posted on March 28, 2015 by Stephen Jagger

polymer google singapore We were fortunate to have Unbug join us today in Singapore for a private Polymer Workshop. Unbug is a front-end engineer at NetEase, the Creator of #MIHTool (iOS Web Debugger Pro) and a contributor to Polymer. His work gets recognized all over the world and it was great learning from him.

Our #AdventureEngineers have rotated and some of our Whistler team arrived in Singapore as well as some of the Manila team so it was a perfect opportunity to take some time on a Saturday to learn.

We are big on learning and are always looking for opportunities to expand our knowledge. A big thanks to Unbug for taking the time out to come chat with our team.

8 Restaurant Recommendations in Singapore

Posted on February 19, 2015 by Stephen Jagger

unnamed-1 Since opening our office in Singapore we have had a couple requests about the best places to eat in Singapore. While we are still newbies, but we do have a few spots that we really like.

Here are our (current) 10 top restaurants to visit in Singapore; (in no particular order)

1. Ramen in Singapore is top notch, our team likes all branches of Keisuke but are partial to Tori King.

2. The Study with it’s hidden Library next door. To get into the Library, you need a password. Makes for a really fun night and the whole wall separating the two gets rolled back in the middle of the evening to everyones surprise. (well, not yours cause your reading this)

3. Our engineers like Bah Kut Teh. Tiong Bahru has a few spots that are tasty.

4. Hawkers: Golden Shoe in the CBD. Check our Golden Nur (their egg prata is awesome for breakfast and the chicken briyani for lunch is great). tip: go at 11:30am to avoid big lines.5. Hawkers: Lau Pa Sat in the CBD. Almost everything is awesome. But at 7:00pm they close one of the streets and the skewer vendors come out in full force. tip: tiger beer and chicken skewers are a solid combo.

6. PS Cafe in Tiong Bahru is great. Reasonable (for Singapore) priced wines and great pizzas.

7. Level 33 for drinks is an amazing view. Worth the cost for visitors to get a great perspective of Singapore. (see picture above, taken from their patio)

8. Fresh Fruit from the Arcade next to the Ocean Financial Centre is a great find. Pick whatever fruit you want, they cut it up and serve it in a bag with a skewer. Quick, healthy snacks.

There you have it, check them out, let us know what you think. After a few more months I’m sure we will have found some more great places to eat. Singapore food is amazing! So much variety. Best tip we can give you… try the hawkers, they are awesome, cost effective and fun.

Bonus Points: A Singapore coffee, a Kopi, is great. Tastes more like a mocha and has been described by some of our team as a drink that makes them “bananas”.

If you are ever in Fort Bonifacio, Philippines and looking for a place to eat, check out our restaurant list for there. Some great spots as well.
