CPF board recovers $516m in arrears from errant employers in 2015

Over 360,000 workers benefitted.

The CPF Board (CPFB) has recovered about $516 million in CPF arrears in 2015. The CPF arrears recovered were from underpayment, non-payment and late payment of CPF contributions by employers.

Bulk of the recovered arrears were due to late payment by employers. CPF recovered $500.8 million in late payments from around 5,600 employers each month last year, which benefitted over 353,000 workers.

Meanwhile, $15.2 million were from cases of underpayment or non-payment which the CPFB had recovered from 1,840 employers. This benefitted 14,708 employees.

One of these cases, which had one of the highest amount of CPF arrears recovered, was uncovered through a complaint on non-payment of CPF contributions lodged by a driver from a logistics company.

The CPF Board urged employers to submit their CPF contributions electronically to facilitate timely payment.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
