| national_provident_fund | Solomon Islands National Provident Fund (SINPF) contribution | 12.5 | 5 | 7.5 | percent | The amount of WAGES PAYABLE to the employee for the PRECEDING month, counted in COMPLETE DOLLARS. The Second Schedule reads: "The monthly contribution by an employer under section 13(1) shall be twelve and one half cents in respect of each complete dollar in the amount of the wages of the employee for the preceding month, provided that for the total amount payable in respect of each employee for a month a half cent shall be rounded up to the next complete cent, and the amount which the employer may recover under section 13(2) from the employee's wages for the preceding month shall be five cents in respect of each complete dollar in the amount of such wages." There is NO earnings ceiling. There IS a floor with two limbs: under the proviso to section 13(1), no contribution is payable in any one month for an employee who in the preceding month (i) earned less than SBD 20.00, or (ii) worked for fewer than 6 days. The Fund states the same test positively: "An employer is liable to pay monthly contributions after hiring an employee for 6 or more days and paid a wage of $20.00 or more in a month." | 20 |
| THE LEGAL STRUCTURE IS ONE EMPLOYER LIABILITY WITH A RIGHT OF RECOVERY, NOT TWO CONTRIBUTIONS. Section 13(1) makes the employer liable for the whole 12.5%; section 13(2) merely entitles the employer to recover 5 percentage points from the employee's wages. That matters in… | |||||||

Every value above names the official instrument it came from and the date it takes effect, and we record when we last checked it. Where a value could not be verified against its own statute we do not publish an estimate — the series is simply absent. Where a question falls outside what we hold, the API refuses and explains, free of charge, rather than returning a number that looks right.
