How long is maternity leave in Singapore?

If you've worked for your employer for at least 3 months (before your delivery date), you're entitled to 16 weeks paid maternity leave. This is an employment right, and your employer cannot prevent you from taking maternity leave.

​

If you've worked for less than 3 months for your company before childbirth, you'll still qualify for 12 weeks of unpaid maternity leave.

​

You can start your maternity leave up to 4 weeks before your expected delivery, so you have sufficient time to rest at home and prepare for your child's arrival.

​

If you're adopting instead of giving birth, you can access 12 weeks of paid maternity leave, subject to certain criteria.
