Tech.Pass → ONE Pass: salary composite before the 2027 sunset
Companion to Tech.Pass — when the published ONE Pass (AI and Tech) salary-plus-vested composite is the real handoff vs staying on PEP or sponsored EP, and what to verify before EDB closes renewals.
Parent map: Tech.Pass · 2027 sunset handoff. This companion is the salary-composite fork — where holders treat “S$22.5k cash forever” as identical to the published ONE Pass (AI and Tech) composite direction.
Cash floor ≠ composite floor
EDB Tech.Pass has long centred a S$22,500 last-drawn fixed monthly salary plus company-scale experience. MOM’s March 2026 factsheet points ONE Pass (AI and Tech) toward combining fixed cash (≥ S$22.5k) with vested non-cash components toward a S$30k/month composite, plus company-scale / experience tests. Forum math that ignores vesting clocks is how late-2026 filings miss.
| Folklore | Safer reading |
|---|---|
| “My Tech.Pass S$22.5k auto-converts to ONE Pass” | No automatic switch — file the next pass while Tech.Pass is still valid |
| “RSUs count the day the grant letter lands” | Composite direction usually cares about vested value — verify live MOM text |
| “Outstanding-achievements path is the same as composite” | Different story — achievements evidence |
| “PEP is always easier than ONE Pass composite” | PEP is generally one-shot; compare chooser |
Pre-sunset checklist
- Confirm whether you need new / renewal Tech.Pass before 28 January 2027 — after that date EDB stops those filings.
- Build a composite worksheet: fixed cash + vested equity / other published components — do not invent categories from Slack.
- Keep a sponsored EP Plan B if the employer will file COMPASS.
- If outstanding achievements are the real story, package that track separately — do not blend with composite folklore.
- Start the next pass while Tech.Pass is still live; do not wait for a courtesy conversion letter.
Decision rule
Treat Tech.Pass S$22.5k cash and ONE Pass composite as different products — stage the handoff on live MOM/EDB text before EDB closes renewals, not on forum auto-convert myths.
