After six months of service, employees are entitled to 14 days of paid sick leave each year (or sixty days in the event that they require hospitalization). Before six months of service, the amount of paid sick leave each year is determined by the length of time that the employee has been employed:
Paid maternity leave is set at 16 weeks provided that the child will be a Singaporean citizen and the mother has been employed for at least three months before the due date. Between 28 and 56 days of the leave must be taken before the birth. If the child will not be a Singaporean citizen, maternity leave is set at 12 weeks. For the first two children, the 16 weeks of maternity leave is paid half by the government and half by the employer. From the third child onward, the full 16 weeks are all paid by the government.
Assuming he has completed at least three months of service, the father of the child/the mother’s partner is entitled to 2 weeks of paternity leave, which is paid for by the government.
Either the employer or the employee can terminate a contract by providing the requisite notice, provided that said termination does not break any relevant laws (e.g. those concerning discrimination). When an employee’s contract is terminated for any reason other than misconduct, he/she must be paid all outstanding holiday entitlements.
Notice periods in Singapore are dependent on the employee’s length of service:
If an employee has completed at least two years in a job, they are entitled, upon the termination of their contract, to severance pay typically amounting to 2–4 weeks of pay for each year in employment. The exact amount is determined by the employment contract or collective agreement.
Probation periods in Singapore are generally three months, during that time employment can be terminated by either party with five days of notice.
