Rules on off-in-lieu

I quote from a 25 Mar 2008 MyPaper article written by Ms Jean Tan, Director, Corporate Communications for Permanent Secretary Ministry of Manpower, on "Rules of off-in-lieu" below:

"For an employee on a five-day work week, Saturday would be considered a day-off and Sunday a rest day.

Under the Employment Act, if a public holiday falls on a day-off, an employee is entitled to one day off-in-lieu or be given one extra day's pay.

If it falls on a rest day, the law provides that the working day following the rest day will be a paid public holiday.".
