What is National Service Leave (Singapore)?

Employer-granted leave that allows Singaporean male employees and permanent residents to fulfil their National Service (NS) obligations, including In-Camp Training (ICT), without losing their civilian jobs or pay.

Why it matters in hiring

National Service Leave (Singapore) comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
