What is MPF

The Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) is a compulsory saving scheme for the retirement of residents in Hong Kong, in which a monthly contribution to MPF schemes is required for most employers and employees according to their salaries and the period of employment. Starting from December 2000, except for exempt persons, employees and self-employed persons aged 18 to 64 are required to join an MPF scheme.

Contribution

Make sure to pay your mandatory employer’s and employees’ contributions within 10 days of each month.

Employer’s mandatory contributions for employees are payable from the first day an eligible employee starts his/her employment with your company. While each new employee is given an initial 30-day contribution holiday, he/she must pay mandatory contributions from his/her first complete calendar month or payroll cycle after such initial 30-day contribution holiday.

After each employee’s 60th day of employment, you should make first mandatory contributions for each new employee within 10 days of the following month.

ii.) If the relevant monthly income is between 280 HKD to 1,000 HKD per day, or 7,100 HKD to 30,000 HKD per month, the employee and employer are required to pay a 5% contribution of the relevant income. The maximum monthly contribution is 1,500 HKD.

iii.) If the relevant monthly income is above 1,000 HKD per day, or 30,000 HKD per month, the employee and employer are required to pay 1,500 HKD for monthly contributions.

After contribution

As an employer, you are legally required to provide each employee with a monthly pay record within 7 working days of remitting the employee's mandatory contribution.

The pay record must state:

Relevant income paid;
Employer contributions - mandatory and voluntary (if applicable);
Employee contributions - mandatory and voluntary (if applicable); and
The date of contribution payment

If there is any change in company information (eg. relocation), please inform your trustee within 10 days.

If you need to offset a Long Service Payment or a Severance Payment, you are required to sign a "Offset of Long Service Payment / Severance Payment Form".

Should an employee terminate his/her employment with your company, the employee must

i.) Notify the trustee of the member’s termination within 10 days of the end of the calendar month in which it occurred; and

ii.) Settle the last contributions for the terminated member
