The existing MPF accounts of your employees who are under employment will be transferred from trustees’ systems to the eMPF Platform. Employers do not need to create MPF accounts for those employees again on the Platform.
You are encouraged to sign up to obtain the technical specifications earlier in order to ensure adequate lead time to complete the development/enhancement works and all the necessary testing of your payroll system before the MPF scheme in which your company is participating onboards to the eMPF Platform.
No, you should only submit instructions to the eMPF Platform after the relevant MPF scheme has been onboarded to the Platform.
If the MPF scheme your company participate in will soon be onboarded to the Platform, please note that there are administrative arrangements during the transition period, including the cut-off dates for submitting administrative instructions to your trustee.
If you are unable to submit administrative instructions to the trustee before the specified cut-off dates, some instructions will be processed after the scheme is onboarded to the Platform, while others will be rejected. You may need to resubmit any rejected instructions to the Platform after the scheme is onboarded.
For the cut-off dates and related arrangements of various administrative instructions for individual schemes, you may refer to the eMPF Communication Pack sent by the trustee.
