While various factors influence job selection, such as career development opportunities, workplace culture, and social benefits, remuneration remains a primary reason for employees considering leaving their current positions in Singapore.
Employee salaries across all categories are typically determined through direct negotiations between employers and employees, often guided by the relevant industry collective agreements, while also adhering to the Ministry of Manpower’s regulations regarding the minimum wage.
In Singapore, salaries must be paid in Singapore dollars, though negotiations can sometimes occur in other currencies if agreed upon. Employers are required to clearly outline the monthly net salary on employees’ payslips starting from the first month of employment.
Salaries are generally structured as 12 monthly payments, with the “13th month” bonus being a common practice. In some sectors, additional bonuses may be provided, resulting in a “14th month” salary or more, which serves as an incentive for performance and retention.
Common Employee Benefits in Singapore
The most common employee benefits included in remuneration packages in Singapore are:
Standard working hours typically follow a 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM schedule for a 5-day workweek, including a one-hour lunch break, amounting to around 44 hours per week. For a 6-day workweek, the hours are usually 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM from Monday to Friday, with a half-day on Saturday, such as 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, also totaling approximately 44 hours weekly.
According to the Singapore Employment Act, employees should not work more than 8 hours per day or 44 hours per week unless overtime is compensated. Overtime work is limited to 72 hours per month. However, many companies now offer flexible working hours or hybrid work models depending on the industry.
In Singapore, the number of vacation or annual leave days for employees depends on their length of service and is governed by the Employment Act. Key points include:
Singapore has 11 public (bank) holidays each year, which cover various cultural, religious, and national observances. Here are the bank holidays and what they represent:
The dates of the Chinese New Year, Hari Raya Puasa, Hari Raya Haji, Vesak Day, and Deepavali vary each year because they are based on lunar or religious calendars.
The notice period must be the same for both the employee and employer. If either party does not provide sufficient notice, they may need to compensate the other party in lieu of notice (payment for the length of the notice period).
The probation period is the initial phase of employment where the employer assesses an employee’s suitability for the role. It is not mandated by law, but is commonly included in employment contracts. The typical probation period in Singapore lasts between 3 to 6 months, though this can vary depending on the company.
During the probation period, employees usually have shorter notice periods (often 1 week), as specified in their contract. The terms of the probation period, including its length and notice requirements, should be clearly outlined in the employment contract.
If an employee successfully completes the probation period, they are often confirmed as a permanent employee, with the full terms of the contract taking effect.
The notice period must be the same for both the employee and employer. If either party does not provide sufficient notice, they may need to compensate the other party in lieu of notice (payment for the length of the notice period).
