Same goes for bonus.

How common is this practice? I think only finance industry practices this. What about others?

Does your company practice this?
This is correct. Cause foreigner don't have cpf.
Which alot of Singaporean don't realise so they will claim that they only take home nett 4k after 20% employee cpf contribution while their foreigner take home 5850.

Alot of Singaporean are clueless.. But both are earning gross 5k exactly the same.
Only difference is Singapore gahmen don't let you use 37% if your gross and force you to save...
