Singapore has 11 gazetted public holidays, but your domestic helper is NOT automatically entitled to them. Learn MOM rules, the 2026 calendar, and how to handle pay and time off.

This National Day, we celebrate the unsung members of our Singapore homes — the domestic helpers who care for our children, parents, and homes day in and day out.

Singapore's multicultural calendar means multiple festive seasons each year. Learn how to manage public holidays, time off, cultural celebrations, and gift-giving with your domestic helper during CNY, Hari Raya, Deepavali, and Christmas.
