Employment Act in Singapore!?

Susie, a foreigner, worked for XYZ Pte Ltd about 2 years and obtained PR recently. She got a raised to $2K with effect from 1 Feb 2008 and which coincide of her getting her IC on the same month (which is on the 12 Feb 2008). She is now an Accounts Executive for XYZ Pte Ltd.

The situation here is that, from Susie鈥檚 understanding that since obtaining a PRship in this country, she will have to pay CPF with effect from the date she obtained her IC. As from her understanding with the CPF board, since she obtain her IC in the middle of the month, the CPF deduction will be effected from the 12 Feb 2008 onwards (which means it鈥檚 a prorated calculation).

My question is that:-

1) Since the CPF is calculated prorated, does this mean, her pay of $2K need to be prorated as well in order to get a net pay for the month of Feb 2008?

2) If the pay is to be calculated prorated in order to get the net pay for the month:-
(a) what is the correct formula to be used?
(b) does this means Susie does NOT entitle a paid public holiday for Chinese New Year in the month of February 2008? (which I believe it is a paid Public Holiday for the 1st day and 2nd day of CNY). If yes, please let me have an explanation as well.

A local lawyer is needed to figure that out!

depend on how the company calculate the pay...
example. 2000/(24 to 26) to get the daily pay....depend on the company..and also which month.. since some month have more weekday than the other. once u get PR...the first year will be 5-10% CPF deduction but the company will hv to pay a few % too...which is your total CPF then break down into 3 area. medisave, ordinary and special account. for your friend's case, her CPF is from 12th onwards only...
regarding the paid holiday, ask your friend about the letter of appointment that she signed...whether did they mention anything about it in the letter. you should also check with the Ministry of manpower with this paid holiday issue. usually u will get 2xdaily pay if u work during public holiday.
