Singapore - annual leave during notice period/termination

According to the local labour law in Singapore, if an employee is dismissed on any ground other than misconduct before the employee has taken all of his paid annual leave, the employer must pay the employee the employee’s gross rate of pay in respect of every day of that leave not taken by the employee.

Also, it can be offered to the employee to use the leave balance during the notice period, however, this is subject to employee's consent and the employee can refuse.
