How to Calculate My Rest Day Worked Salary?
Calculate rest day worked salary as MDW in Singapore
As a Migrant Domestic Worker (MDW) in Singapore, you are entitled to one rest day per week. If you agree to work on your rest day, your employer must compensate you in-lieu for the day worked.
Step-by-Step Salary Calculation
1. Determine Your Daily Salary
To calculate your daily salary, divide your basic monthly salary by 26 days (as per standard calculations in Singapore).
Example:
- Basic Monthly Salary: $650
- Daily Salary: $650 ÷ 26 = $25 per day
2. Calculate Payment for Rest Days Worked
If you choose to work on your rest day(s), your employer must pay you an additional one day’s salary for each rest day worked.
Example:
- Suppose you decide to take only one rest day per month (e.g., the second Sunday of each month) and work the remaining three Sundays.
- Compensation for Rest Days Worked: $25 × 3 = $75
3. Compute Your Total Salary for the Month
Your total salary for the month will include your basic salary plus the additional compensation for working on your rest days.
Example:
Component | Amount (SGD) |
Basic Monthly Salary | $650 |
Compensation for Rest Days Worked (3 days × $25) | $75 |
Total Salary for the Month | $725 |
Important Notes
- The decision to work on a rest day should be voluntary and based on mutual agreement between you and your employer.
- Compensation for rest days worked should be paid separately from your basic salary.
- If you take all your entitled rest days, your salary remains at the agreed monthly amount (e.g., $650 in this example).
By understanding this calculation, you can ensure that you receive the correct payment for any rest days worked.
