Saturday holidays don't give you a day off
Chinese New Year (6 Feb 2027), Labour Day (1 May 2027) and Christmas Day (25 Dec 2027) fall on a Saturday. Singapore has no in-lieu day for Saturday holidays. Your employer gives you a day off or a day's pay instead, so check your company's policy before you plan around them.
