Overlooked allowances
Dear fellow HR professionals
We recently discovered that we overlooked some allowances that were to be paid to our employees. And so we paid them to our current employees accordingly.
However, some past employees who have since resigned were also entitled to those allowances.
So my question is how we can rectify this situation.
Should we pay the past employees the incentive payments which we forgot?
And if do, how do we handle the CPF and tax implications?
We are in the construction industry.
Thank you in advance
