Dear Mr D,

We refer to your email dated 27 Aug 07.We are of the view that if an employee absents himself on legitimategrounds such as annual leave, sick leave, public holiday etc, he is deemed to have worked during the period and such absence shall be included in the computation of total hours worked in the week. He should not be required to replace the absence from work.Should you require more information on the statutory benefits provided forunder the Employment Act, you could visit the Ministry of Manpower'sweb-site athttp://www.mom.gov.sg/publish/momportal/en/communities/workplace_standards/employment_standards/the_employment_act.html or call 6 4385122.
