This adjustment will be applied in the employee's final payroll month of the year or their last month of employment.

h. Cash Payment Rounding: When employees are paid in cash, this setting rounds their net pay up to the nearest selected amount. Any rounding difference will be added to the payslip as a Cash Payment Round Up pay item. This amount is not subject to CPF or SDL calculations but will be included in the employee's gross salary.
