Many multinational employers provide supplementary retirement benefits (prevalence is not common among local employers or small to medium sized multinational employers); benefits are provided through registered provident funds.

Provident funds may be established for the exclusive use of a single employer (typically large employers) or, more often, on a pooled basis as multi-employer funds.

  • employer - up to 5% of the employee's salary for each employee

The Employee Welfare Fund is administered by the Department of Labour Protection and Welfare.
