Singapore Public Holidays 2026: HR Guide

The 2026 Singapore calendar features 11 official public holidays, confirmed by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).
Employees can strategically plan for six long weekends in 2026, offering extended breaks with minimal annual leave usage.
MOM rules stipulate that when a public holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is automatically the paid public holiday (holiday-in-lieu).
When required to work on a public holiday, employees are entitled to an extra day's salary or a mutually agreed-upon day off-in-lieu.
