There were six public holiday long weekends in 2026, and four in 2025.
Employers and employees may mutually agree to substitute a public holiday for another working day, said MOM.
Employees who are required to work on a public holiday are entitled to an extra day’s salary at the basic rate of pay, in addition to their gross rate of pay for that day, the ministry added.
Employers also have the option of granting time-off-in-lieu, based on a mutually agreed number of hours, for working on a public holiday for workmen earning more than S$4,500 (US$3,497) a month; non-workmen earning more than S$2,600 a month and all managers and executives.
