            Not unpaid bosses. They play a very important role in shaping the kids' lives and I would not just call them bosses, but \"Ministers\" .... Minister of Home Affairs, Minister of Finance, Minister of Education etc ... aren't these very important jobs with heavy responsibilities? Only thing that SAHM loses out is CPF contribution, annual leave and medical leave! :stompfeet: But their contribution towards society is priceless!

                right...NO annual leave. Sick still work as per normal, after popping in 2 panadol for headache and any aches. Most importantly the BIG boss at home appreciates and that makes up for loss of income and CPF.

                    I think your company is obligated to either credit one day to your annual leave, or allow you to take one day off-in-lieu of the PH or compensate in $. See below, extracted from AsiaOne News, 10 April 2013.

                    PAYMENT FOR WORK DONE ON A PUBLIC HOLIDAY
                    The Ministry would like to remind all employers that under the Employment Act, an employee who is required to work on a public holiday is entitled to an extra day's salary at the basic rate of pay, in addition to the gross rate of pay for that holiday. The employer and employee may mutually agree to substitute a public holiday for any other day.

                    PUBLIC HOLIDAYS ON SATURDAYS
                    For public holidays falling on Saturdays, an employee who is not required to work on Saturdays is entitled to claim a day off or compensation in lieu for that public holiday, if the employee is covered under the Employment Act.

                    Just that a number of KSP parents are probably not covered..

                    coz earn too much.. :evil:[/quote]But most \"reasonable\" companies will give it to all employees.
