Introduction & Overview

Overview

MeritHRMS is a unified Human Resource Management System (HRMS) designed for Singapore employers. It combines employee records, payroll, attendance, leave, expense claims, asset tracking, and employee self-service in one workspace.

The MeritHRMS Shell is your single entry point. From the Shell you can:

  • Navigate between modules using the left sidebar
  • Sign in once (SSO) and access embedded applications
  • Switch between legal entities in a multi-company group
  • Open system administration, reports, and compliance tools

Singapore compliance

MeritHRMS is built for Singapore statutory requirements:

  • IRAS — tax compliance and reporting support
  • MOM — Key Employment Terms (KET), Workright checklist, attendance rules aligned with Part IV

Statutory reference tables are maintained on the operations console and referenced read-only inside Pay.

FAQ

Q: Do I need separate logins for Pay and Talent?

Q: Why can I see only Billing and Me?
A: Your subscription may be RESTRICTED. Contact your organisation Owner or support to upgrade module access.

Q: Where is statutory rate data maintained?
