1) Intern CPF contributions are not needed
For an intern who does not need to contribute to CPF, here are the steps you'll follow to input these settings into the system:
Head to Profiles > Manage my database > Employee Listing > Edit (employee's profile) > Identification Documents.
You'll be able to set the Immigration Status to the "Intern" option. This will automatically remove any CPF, SDL and SHG calculations for this employee.
2) Intern CPF contributions are needed
For an intern who needs to contribute to CPF, here are the steps you'll follow to input these settings into the system:
