Notice

Unit

Date notice is givenNotice must be in writing (letter or email)

Last day: 14 Nov 2026(1 month, counting from 15 Oct 2026)

The notice period includes the day notice is given, and public holidays, rest days and non-working days (MOM).
Notice must be the same length for both sides. Both may agree in writing to waive it; otherwise the side not serving it pays salary in lieu (no CPF).
Sick leave counts towards the notice period and cannot extend it; reservist training does not count, so notice is extended.
With the employer’s agreement, annual leave can offset notice to bring the last day forward (that leave is then not paid out).
