Calculating National Service Payments

The National Service Leave entitlement—NSL LVE ENT—uses conditional resolution formula NSL FM RESOLV ENT for resolving national service leave. Each working day (based on the schedule) resolves to 1 (the entitlement is Numeric 1.00 when the SCHED HRS is greater than 0). The process identifies each day taken as reservice leave and generates a Makeup earning entry into payroll. The loss of pay appears on the payslip as Makeup pay and the employee can claim this amount back from the MINDEF. When payroll is processed and it finds National Service leave for an employee, Makeup pay earnings are generated.

Note:

There are no accrual or proration rules for this type of leave and the entitlement cannot be carried forward into another term. Since National Service leave is a mandatory service for male Singapore citizens, the call for service is initiated by the Ministry of Defence. The number of days relating to National Service are determined and calculated by the administration.
