Are CPF contributions payable on traineeship allowance given to your trainee under the GRaduate Industry Traineeships (GRIT) Programme if you are the host company?
CPF contributions are not payable on traineeship allowance for your trainee under the GRaduate Industry Traineeships (GRIT) Programme so long as the trainee is not employed under a contract of service.
You and your trainee may enter into an employer-employee relationship at any time, including upon completion of the GRIT programme, in which case, CPF contributions would be payable on wages given to your employee.
