These are the long weekends in 2021

No one can say for sure if there will be as many travel restrictions next year but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t still bother to maximise our leave days, particularly when the minimum legal requirement of annual leave entitlement for employees in Singapore is seven days.

Plus, according to research by Instant Offices, 92 per cent of Singaporeans are stressed at work compared to the global average of 84 per cent, so we certainly need as many breaks as we can get. These are the long weekends that will allow you to make the most out of your leave in 2021.
