Payroll System for Businesses in Singapore

Many HR software tools come with a high price tag and a long setup. You pay extra for each feature, then you need someone on staff, or a consultant, to run it. For a Singapore business, that cost builds up quickly. HERA is built to be simpler. It handles CPF, SDL, leave, and year-end figures. Our dedicated HR support team sets it up with you and answers your questions. Rostering and asset management come at no extra cost.

What is a payroll system?

A payroll system works out each person's pay, takes off deductions, and prepares the payslip. HERA does this for companies in Singapore using the rules you set up. It handles monthly salaries, overtime, allowances, claims, and leave, and it keeps a full history of every pay run.

HERA is customized. Your pay dates, approval steps, and rules for different groups of staff are set up to match your company.

What HERA can handle for Singapore payroll

  • Monthly salary, overtime, and allowances
  • CPF contributions for employer and employee
  • Skills Development Levy (SDL)
  • Leave and public holiday tracking
  • Claims and other deductions
  • Payslips that employees can open themselves
  • Year-end figures for IR8A, prepared for your team
  • Bank payment files for salary transfers

CPF rates depend on age and residency, and they change over time. HERA lets you update them. HERA prepares the figures and reports, and your team reviews them before submitting to the authorities.

Who is this payroll system for?

HERA is built for businesses of every size, from small teams to large enterprises. It is a good fit if you:

  • Run monthly payroll for a team of any size
  • Employ a mix of citizens, permanent residents, and foreign staff
  • Have a team in other countries, such as the Philippines
  • Do not want to pay extra for rostering or asset tracking
  • Want help from a real person during setup
