The real Ark-8 difference

You're not buying software.
You're outsourcing your HR desk.

Every ARK-HRCM subscription includes Ark-8 Merchants acting as your HR advisory partner. We're on the line with MOM and CPF Board on your behalf, we speak directly to your local staff about their entitlements, and we issue payslips and HR documents in your name. The software is how we do it fast; the service is why it works.

What we handle for you

MOM & CPF compliance — queries, filings, audit responses, quota tracking
Local staff liaison — explain entitlements, resolve payslip questions, manage disputes
Document issuance — KETs, payslips, Letters of Increment/Appointment/Resignation, all in your entity branding
Monthly payroll cycle — attendance, CPF, SDL and EZPay CSV generated for your review; you approve and submit
Advisory calls — when a hiring/salary decision has compliance implications, we're on WhatsApp

Hours of admin work every month, off your desk.

AThe Problem

The paperwork isn't the hard part.
The compliance math is.

You didn't start your business to memorise CPF tables and LQS thresholds. But get the math wrong and MOM audits, quota shortfalls, and back-CPF hurt fast.

Hand-drawn KETs

Word templates that inevitably miss KET fields when MOM audits. Sign-off pages that go missing.

Manual CPF math

Rate tables that change per age band, per residency status. Rounding rules everyone gets slightly wrong. SDL at 0.25% but capped.

LQS quota surprises

Foreign worker permit renewals refused because someone's monthly wage dipped under $1,800 for two months. No early warning.

Attendance in a spreadsheet

Every month, someone manually ticks 26 boxes per staff member. Every month, someone finds an error two weeks after payslip is sent.

BWhat's inside

Six features that pay for themselves.

Built against real MOM rules, real CPF tables, and real business operating patterns. Not a generic HRIS.

MOM-audited KET generator

KET five-section form (A–E) with every field MOM audits for. In-person e-signature. One tap from a staff profile.

Auto-CPF + SDL

Rates baked in by age band + residency status. Official MOM rounding rules. 2026 rates already loaded. EZPay CSV export for CPF Board portal upload.

LQS quota wizard

Backwards-computes the exact shift to hit 1.0 or 0.5 LQS headcount at min cost. Supports the multi-entity CPF split model most F&B operators use.

One-click monthly attendance

Given shift + rest day + approved leaves + SG public holidays, one tap generates the whole month. Manual edits kept on re-generate.

Payslip run + Letters of Increment

Salary changes trigger an auto-drafted Letter of Increment. Staff Profile save triggers a contract. Payslip in-person live signing into the system.

Multi-entity, one login

Run all your entities from one account. Same NRIC across two entities? Cross-entity clash detection warns you. Each entity keeps its own branding.

CSetup in a day

Three steps to compliant payroll.

Most SMEs are live end-to-end within one working day. No consultants, no waterfall.

Import your CPF Master List

Upload your existing spreadsheet. Staff, NRICs, salaries, employment records all mapped automatically. Nothing re-typed.

≈ 20 minutes

Set shifts + generate KETs

Pick a shift template per staff (or use the Suggest button). Generate KETs in one tap each. Employees sign on your phone in person.

≈ 3 hours for 20 staff

Run first payroll cycle

Auto-attendance for the month. Generate payslips. Download EZPay CSV. Upload to CPF Board. Done for the month.

≈ 15 minutes / month

FFrequently asked

Common questions.

If yours isn't here, WhatsApp us directly — we answer.

Is this a replacement for my accountant / bookkeeper?

No. ARK-HRCM handles the HR compliance layer: KETs, CPF computation, payslips, attendance, LQS quota. Your accountant still files your tax return, keeps your GL, and reviews your P&L. We generate the payroll numbers they need each month, cleanly.

What if MOM changes the LQS threshold or CPF rates?

Rate tables live in a versioned database with effective-date logic. When MOM updates, we push a new rate row with the new effective date — your existing payslips stay computed at their historic rates, new runs pick up the current ones. No app upgrade needed on your side.

Can I run more than one company (entity) on one login?

Yes — this is the core design. One Client Account, unlimited entities. Each entity keeps its own registered name, UEN, brand colour, logo, director signature. Same NRIC across two entities is fully supported (with cross-entity clash detection).

Do I need my staff to sign KETs on their own devices?

No. The system is designed for in-person signing on your device. You pull up the KET on your phone, hand it to the employee, they sign with their finger. Signature saves to the contract row. This matches how F&B/construction actually hire.

What happens to my data if I cancel?

You own your data. On cancellation, we export everything as CSV (employees, employment records, payslips, KETs, attendance) and hand it over. Your KET PDFs remain accessible for 90 days post-cancellation. After that, everything is deleted from our systems.
