Based on the info from MOM website, you are entitled to 11 paid public holidays a year under the Employment Act.
If you are required to work on a public holiday, your employer should pay you an extra day's salary or grant you off in lieu.

Looking at 2 scenario:
A) Your daily salary is $120 and the company require you to work on a public holiday.
However, your company practice is to pay you $120 + ONLY another $100 (as incentive) with no day-off in lieu.

B) Your daily salary is $80 and the company pays you $80 + ONLY another $100 (as incentive) with no day-off in lieu

Is the company in breach of the employment act set by MOM?
Is it compulsory for every company to follow this public holidays entitlement and pay guide lines?
Or the company can simply decide on their own rules and regulations for payment when asking the staff to work on a public holiday?
