Under the old ceiling, many employees were members of the Employees&#8217; Provident Funds Scheme but were kept out of the Employees&#8217; Pension Scheme, typically because their wages were above \u20b915,000 when they joined. Many of these employees now earn at or below the new ceiling. This notification decides what happens to them.<\/p>\n<p>A new <strong>clause (iii)<\/strong> is added to <strong>Paragraph 7(1)<\/strong> of the EPS 2026. It covers an employee who meets all of these conditions:<\/p>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th>Condition<\/th>\n<th>Requirement<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>EPF membership<\/td>\n<td>Has been a member of the Employees&#8217; Provident Funds Scheme, 2026<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>EPS membership<\/td>\n<td>Is <strong>not<\/strong> currently a member of the Employees&#8217; Pension Scheme<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Wage test<\/td>\n<td>Wages <strong>on the date the new wage ceiling was notified<\/strong> are <strong>less than or equal to<\/strong> the notified ceiling<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>The effect is that these employees now fall within EPS membership under Paragraph 7(1).<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Effective Date<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The notification is dated 25 September 2026 but takes effect from <strong>17 September 2026<\/strong>, the same date as the wage ceiling increase.
