HR and payroll that run themselves
In most Singapore SMEs, HR and payroll are a person and a spreadsheet. Hours are chased, leave is approved in chat, CPF is looked up, and salary is typed into the bank portal by hand. MUST turns that chain into a system: staff record attendance on the phone, managers approve in one queue, payroll computes from the result, and the payslips, bank file and year-end figures come out of the same run.
Running daily for hundreds of workers across Singapore, Malaysia & Taiwan.
From clock-in to payslip, one chain
Four handoffs that used to be typed by hand. One human approval in the middle.
Attendance records itself
Staff clock in on the phone with GPS. Lateness, OT and site are on the record the moment it happens.
Approvals happen in one queue
Leave and claims land in the manager queue, approved in two taps, with a full audit trail.
Payroll computes from clean data
Approved hours, OT and leave flow into MUST Payroll. CPF, SDL and SHG are computed automatically.
Payslips, GIRO file, year-end
Itemised payslips to every phone, the bank file from the approved run, and twelve clean months for IR8A.
Three rules
What "runs itself" means
Attendance, OT, leave and claims are captured on the staff phone the moment they happen, not reconstructed at month end.
Managers approve in one queue with an audit trail. That approval is the only manual step between clock-in and payslip.
CPF, SDL, SHG, itemised payslips, the bank file and IR8A support all come from one database. Nothing is entered twice.
By situation
The same system, from your starting point

HR & payroll that runs itself, explained
Who is this built for?
Singapore companies of roughly 10 to 500 staff, with or without an HR person, whose attendance, leave, claims and payroll are still done by hand. MUST HRMS runs every working day for hundreds of workers across Singapore, Malaysia and Taiwan.
What does "runs itself" mean in practice?
Attendance is recorded by the staff phone with GPS. Leave and claims are approved in one manager queue. Payroll reads the approved data and computes CPF, SDL and SHG. Itemised payslips, the bank GIRO file and IR8A year-end support come out of that run. The only manual step is the approval.
How long until it is running?
Most teams go live within a week: staff list imported from Excel, policies and shifts configured with you, app installed from a QR code, then training for managers and local support on WhatsApp and email.
Is pricing published?
