that is the laws, why should i not mention it when it is at face
value, but the hindsight of it is more on business constraint. I am
a boss myself of my little pubs, i employ peoples tho my Dad have
the final say, but we look into all points before determining the
basic paid. Same goes to foreigner workers, the govt got laws in
levies and taxation and housing, we have to look at all these
components before determining the basic paid. This is a basic of
employing someone, we also need to look at the market value in
wages to stay competitive. Otherwise all run to our competitors
then i have to do all the work myself, including servicing
customers.
At the end of the day, we give a contract of service, the person
agreed to be contracted for service, and that is it, nobody is
going to say you use my CPF deduction to compensate my paid and all
these nonsense,...no no...business dun work these way ya. You got
to differentiate laws and payroll. Even a chicken rice sellers have
to study his rental, tax, Gst, bills and many other factors before
he gives a basic paid to get an assistant.
Talking cock again? 
Foreign workers and taxation?
Didn't know there is a relationship between the two?
Can't win your argument, so you try to obfuscate.
You determine market value of wages by computing levies,
taxation and housing?
This is the first time I heard a business owner doing this. Tell
us what formula you use for calculation. I think all business
owners must use the same formula as you, else why does the
majority end up with almost the same figures.
