Questions

When is Labour Day 2027?

Labour Day 2027 is on Sat 1 May. That’s from MOM’s list of public holidays for 2027.

Is there a long weekend for Labour Day 2027?

Not on its own: it falls on a Saturday. A Saturday holiday has no day in lieu for everyone, but if Saturday is your day off, your employer must give you another day off or a day’s pay.

Are schools closed on Labour Day 2027?

Yes: it’s a public holiday, so schools are closed. MOE also gives schools Mon 3 May 2027 off (day off in lieu of Labour Day).

What happens if Labour Day falls on a Sunday or a Saturday?

If a public holiday falls on a Sunday, the next day is a public holiday in lieu. If it falls on a Saturday, there’s no day in lieu for everyone, but MOM’s rule is that if it’s your day off (a Saturday in a five-day week), your employer must give you another day off or a day’s pay instead. When a holiday falls on a Saturday, MOE usually gives schools the Monday off.
