The 2 weekend-falling public holidays in 2028 are absorbed into the regular Saturday and Sunday count, so the working-day reduction comes only from the 9 weekday-falling entries.

When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed; Saturday-falling holidays are absorbed into the weekend without an in-lieu Monday.

Holidays not included

Singapore's 11 gazetted holidays are the complete national set; there are no state or regional layers. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is observed under the Holidays Act. Religious holidays such as Hari Raya Puasa, Hari Raya Haji, Vesak Day, and Deepavali shift each year by their respective calendars; the Ministry of Manpower gazettes the dates annually.
