Does double pay attract MPF contributions?
Q: My company pays a month’s double pay at year-end — does it count? A: Yes! Double pay is “relevant income” and must be included in mandatory contributions; the MPFA’s legislative clean-up last year made definitions clearer. Many assume bonuses are exempt — they’re not.
How do you ensure nothing’s missed?
Check payslips including the double-pay month, and chase underpayments promptly. Every dollar counts — review your balance regularly to confirm all relevant income was contributed.
