How much should a helper be paid for working on a rest day in Singapore?

MOM requires at least one day’s salary for each rest day the helper agrees to work, on top of her monthly salary. The daily rate is her monthly salary divided by 26. For a S$700 salary that is S$26.92 per rest day worked.

Can an employer pay a helper instead of giving rest days?

Not entirely. Since 1 January 2023, every domestic worker must have at least one rest day each month that is taken as an actual day off and cannot be compensated away. Other weekly rest days can be worked by mutual agreement in exchange for pay or a replacement day off.

Dear Sir / Ma'am,

Thank you. Here is my rest day pay for September 2026.

I did not work any of my rest days in September 2026, so there is no extra pay.

Please tell me if I have counted anything wrong. Thank you very much.
