Payroll Singapore - Add Overtime for Day Off with Customizable Multiplier

We've added Overtime (Day Off) as another default overtime payroll item. Now, Singapore payroll centers can configure different rates for four distinct OT types:

• Normal workdays

• Rest days

• Days off

• Holidays

You can easily assign a specific multiplier to each category to match your company's policy.
