MPF Adapter

About the system

MPF Adapter is a MPF contribution calculator tailor-made for medium and large size companies. The system is developed by Progressive Technology Ltd. who is an e-mpf software house specialized in developing Mandatory Provident Fund (MPF) administration and related software systems.

The system allows the users to continue to use their existing payroll systems but yet can fulfill MPF Ordinance requirements in MPF contribution and surcharge calculation. MPF Adapter imports employee relevant income, calculate MPF contribution and export the contribution back to the payroll system.

There are many advantages in using MPF Adapter. First of all, you do not need to purchase a new human resource application and convert your existing data into the new system. In addition, you do not need to get use to the new features, operation flow and report layout of the new system. MPF contributions can be exported from MPF Adapter and the amount can be deducted from your existing system as deductions.

The system is already purchased by a number of large corporations where company size ranges from 500 to over 3,000 employees. Please refer to our client list for reference.

Features of MPF Adapter

The system automatically calculates the MPF contributions and surcharge according to MPF Ordinance and regulations. It directly interfaces with MPF-Pro System, an MPF administration system developed by Progressive and it is being used by a number of major MPF Trustees in Hong Kong.
