What should I fill in for 'Leave Days' under 'Claimable Period' for the claim submission under the Government-Paid Leave scheme?

1. Please indicate all working days that the leave was taken on.

Example

If a mother took GPML from 1 Oct 2021 to 31 Oct 2021 and works 5 days per week (Mon-Fri), you should fill in the 'Leave Days' for Oct 2021 as 21.

2. Whether Public Holidays should be included is based on the Leave Pattern

• Leave taken continuously e.g. Adoption Leave for Mothers (AL) taken continuously from 11th to 12th week

  • Public Holidays is included if Public Holidays fall on working days.

• Taken non-continuously e.g. 2 days a week

  • If leave was taken on public holidays that fall on working days (e.g. retail employees who may need to work on public holidays)

Note: First 8 weeks of Government-Paid Maternity Leave (GPML) and AL must be taken in one continuous block.
