Key Points for Employees and Employers:
Extra Pay for Public Holiday Work: Employees required to work on public holidays are entitled to:
- An additional day’s salary at the basic rate.
- Their gross pay for the day.
Substitute Holidays: Employers and employees may agree to replace a public holiday with another working day.
Time-Off-In-Lieu: For certain employees, employers can provide time-off-in-lieu instead of extra pay:
- Workmen earning over S$4,500/month.
- Non-workmen earning over S$2,600/month.
- Managers and executives.
These guidelines help ensure fair compensation and flexibility for those working during public holidays.
