What happens if an employee falls sick during a vacation in Singapore?

In Singapore, if an employee falls sick during their vacation, they can apply for sick leave, provided they inform their employer and submit a medical certificate issued by a doctor. This allows them to convert their vacation days into sick leave, preserving their vacation entitlement for future use.


It is vital for the employee to inform their direct manager immediately as well as visit a doctor to receive treatment and a medical certificate.
