CPF e-Submit@web - ESI (Electronic Standing Instruction)

The Electronic Standing Instruction (ESI) function is suitable for employees whose CPF contributions do not change each month. The ESI will authorise the auto-deduction of a fixed amount via GIRO for your employees every month. Please note that CPF Board offers a similar service known as GIRO Standing Instruction (SI), where employers can fill up a form to authorise CPF Board to auto-deduct a fixed CPF contribution each month. Although the function of the ESI feature in CPF e-Submit@web and the GIRO SI service are similar, the two services are not related. ESI is a separate service offered only to CPF e-Submit@web users. If your employee details are currently being submitted via GIRO SI, please do not set up the same employee details under ESI, as this will lead to a double deduction of CPF contributions for those employees. Note: Before setting up the ESI, please ensure that you have updated your employee details in the Employee Database as the CPF contribution amount to be deducted will be computed based on the employee details in the Employee Database. CPF e-Submit@web does not auto-compute Skills Development Levy (SDL). Please remember to key in the SDL amount for all your employees (permanent, casual, part-time, temporary or foreign employees rendering their services wholly or partly in Singapore). Once an employee has been setup under ESI, any additional CPF submission made for the employee will be treated as an additional payment on top of the existing ESI deduction. If you make changes to the existing employee records that are setup under ESI (e.g. change of wages, termination of employment, etc.) from the Employee Database, the existing ESI arrangement will be de-activated, and you will need to re-setup the ESI. 9.1 SETUP / ENQUIRE ESI Select Setup / Enquire Electronic Standing Instruction under Employer Information section of the Main Menu (Figure 56).
