Year-end payroll is never quiet. For many HR teams, it means logging into multiple portals, double-checking formats, fixing errors, and racing against deadlines. Submissions to IRAS, CPF Board, and Ministry of Manpower often happen at the same time right when workloads are at their peak. 

That’s exactly why we hosted our recent webinar: 
“Understanding One Stop Payroll – A Built-in Digital Initiative to Simplify Government Submissions for HR Teams.” 

Here’s a clear recap of what was covered and why it matters for HR teams in Singapore. 

Why Payroll Submissions Are Still a Challenge for HR 

Despite having payroll data in one system, many organisations still: 

• Submit to three different government portals 

• Follow different formats and deadlines 

• Manually extract, verify, and upload data 

• Discover errors only at the last minute 

This manual work costs time. It increases risk. And during peak periods like year-end filing, it adds unnecessary stress. 

What Is One Stop Payroll (OSP)? 

One Stop Payroll (OSP) is a government-led digital initiative that allows employers to submit payroll and employment data directly from their payroll software. 

It is a collaboration between: 

• IRAS 

• CPF Board 

• Ministry of Manpower 

• Powered by GovTech 

Instead of logging into multiple portals, HR teams process payroll once, and the system handles the rest. 

What Can Be Submitted via One Stop Payroll? 

Through OSP-enabled payroll software, HR teams can submit: 

• CPF Contributions (monthly) 

• Employment Income under the Auto-Inclusion Scheme (AIS) 

• Occupational & Employment Dataset (OED) to MOM (quarterly) 

All submissions are sent securely via APIs. No re-entry, file uploads or duplicate work. 

How One Stop Payroll Works in Practice 

During the webinar, we walked through how OSP works inside JustLogin. 

The process is simple: 

1. Payroll is processed as usual 

2. Required data is auto generated by the system 

3. HR reviews and confirms the details 

4. Authentication is done via Singpass 

5. Submission is sent directly to the relevant agency 

What used to take days can now take minutes. 

Key Benefits Highlighted in the Webinar 

1. Significant Time Savings 

Based on trials, OSP saves around 25 minutes per submission. 
For larger organisations, the savings are even higher. 

2. Fewer Errors 

Data comes straight from payroll records. 
No manual formatting. No mismatched fields. 

3. One Workflow, Not Three 

HR teams no longer manage separate processes for IRAS, CPF, and MOM. 

4. Secure and Compliant 

Submissions are authenticated and sent through secure government-approved channels. 

5. Less Stress During Peak Periods 

Year-end filing becomes predictable and manageable. 

Is One Stop Payroll Mandatory? 

No. Businesses can still submit manually if they prefer. 

But for teams looking to reduce workload, improve accuracy, and stay compliant with less effort, OSP offers a clear advantage. 

Who Should Use One Stop Payroll? 

One Stop Payroll is especially useful for: 

• HR teams managing multiple statutory deadlines 

• Companies with growing headcount 

• Organisations switching payroll systems mid-year 

• Businesses aiming to reduce compliance risk 

Final Takeaway 

One Stop Payroll isn’t just a feature. 
It’s a shift towards simpler, smarter HR operations. 

By connecting payroll software directly to government agencies, HR teams gain back time, clarity, and control especially when it matters most.
