For reference only — actual notice periods are subject to your employment contract; the statutory default only applies when the contract is silent. This calculator does not account for probation periods, which may have separate notice terms.

How notice periods work in Singapore

If an employment contract specifies a notice period, that applies. If it doesn't, the Employment Act sets a statutory default based on length of service — the same table applies whether the employer or the employee is the one giving notice.

Length of service Statutory notice period
Less than 26 weeks1 day
26 weeks to less than 2 years1 week
2 years to less than 5 years2 weeks
5 years or more4 weeks

Either party can choose to serve the notice, pay in lieu of notice, or the employer can waive it.

Common questions

Less than 26 weeks = 1 day; 26 weeks to less than 2 years = 1 week; 2 to less than 5 years = 2 weeks; 5 years or more = 4 weeks — applies equally to either party.

No. CPF is not payable on salary paid in lieu of notice.
Either party can choose to serve notice, pay in lieu, or the employer can waive it. The contract terms (if any) take precedence over the statutory default.
