Salaries in Singapore are prorated based on the number of working days an employee has worked in a month, especially when they join or leave a company partway through the month. The calculation typically divides the monthly salary by the total working days in the month to determine a daily rate, then multiplies this rate by the number of days worked. This approach ensures fair compensation for the actual days worked.
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) in Singapore is a government body responsible for setting, implementing, and enforcing labor policies and regulations. Its main aim is to create a productive workforce and progressive workplaces, ensuring healthy labor-market relations, workplace safety and health, and a stable employment climate for both employers and employees.
