Citing Channel Asia News, employees who work on a public holiday are entitled to additional compensation. Besides receiving their gross pay for the day, they must also be paid an extra day's salary at their basic rate of pay, according to the Ministry of Manpower.
Alternatively, employers may offer time off in lieu instead of the additional holiday compensation, provided both parties agree on the arrangement. This option applies to workmen earning more than S$4,500 per month, non-workmen earning more than S$2,600 per month, as well as all managers and executives.
