I started work on 7 August 2024 and am on a 5-day work week. I was on hospitalisation leave during both periods:
- 8 to 20 December 2024 (10 working days)
- 8 to 13 January 2025 (4 working days)
Outpatient sick leave and hospitalisation leave are only deducted on working days, excluding off days, rest days, public holidays, and approved leave days.
The table below illustrates how the sick leave is computed.

From 7 February 2025, you would have completed 6 months of service. At this point, your annual entitlement will be reset to 14 days for paid outpatient sick leave and 60 days for paid hospitalisation leave for the new calendar year 2025. All outpatient sick leave and hospitalisation leave taken from 1 January 2025 will be deducted from your entitlement.
After deducting your 4-day hospitalisation leave from 8 to 13 January 2025, the balance is 56 days as at 7 February 2025.

The 60 days of paid hospitalisation leave includes the 14 days of paid outpatient sick leave entitlement.
