Hi KL Siew,
My salary is above 2k. I work in the admin department. I work 8 hours a day from Mon - Fri. Recently, I was required to work on Sat and Sunday outside of the office - to help out in the public event coordination from 9am - 6pm which is not inclusive in my job scope. These public events are held 2 months once. Do i have the rights to claim allowance or replacement leave? I know salary above 1.5k not entitled to claim OT. Please advise...

You may be not covered by the Employment Act, but it is only right that your employer should compensate you in one way or another for working on those days, isn't it? Ask for it, don't just keep quiet about it.
