The list contains 11 public holidays, with two being subject to confirmation.
Besides this, MOM also released guidelines regarding payment for work done during these holidays, including time off-in-lieu.
The public holidays in Singapore in 2025 are as follows:
The dates for Hari Raya Puasa and Hari Raya Haji are subject to confirmation.
Given that three of the holidays have fallen on a Monday and one on a Friday, it means there are at least four long weekends to be enjoyed next year.
According to MOM, all employees covered by the Employment Act are entitled to these 11 paid public holidays. However, employers and employees have the liberty to agree to substitute a public holiday for another working day.
Employees required to work on a public holiday are also entitled to an extra day’s salary at the basic pay rate, on top of their gross pay for that day.
Employers may also grant time-off-in-lieu based on a mutually agreed number of hours.
This applies to workmen earning more than $4,500 a month, non-workmen earning more than $2,600 a month, and all managers and executives.
