Question

Hi HR Practitioners,

Need your advise. For executive staff with 6 months probation period, do you grant annual leave after confirmation or require to give after 3 months of service.

Thank you for your support.

We give after the 3 month period as per MOM regulation.

Hi, if they are covered under the employment act, they will be entitled to AL after 3 months of service, regardless of confirmation.

It makes sense to follow the Employment Act which grants annual leave upon completion of 3 months’ service, regardless of probation period. Some companies may even choose to grant annual leave right from the start.

My company gives paid leave after 3 months of service even probation is 6 months. This is in line with the MOM regulations as well (leave entitlement starts from 3 months of service).

Staff on 6 months probation are eligible to take annual leave if they have worked for at least 3 months.

If covered under employment act based on eligibility then al after three months else based on contract. And the annual leaves of first three months is accrued which can be availed within the year. Annual leaves are not carry forwarded over the next year.
