THE Ministry of Manpower on Thursday reminded companies to treat
Polling Day on May 7 like any other public holiday.
All employees covered by the Employment Act are entitled to paid
public holidays, including the public holiday on Polling Day, it
said in a press release.
If an employee is required to work on Polling Day, he is
entitled to an extra day's salary for the day's work, or be given
another day off.
Employees not required to work on that day are also entitled to
one day off in lieu, or be given one day's pay, as per other public
holidays falling on a Saturday.
