If you would normally be rostered to work on a Public Holiday and you don’t work:
You will get hours added to your pay that will be labelled ‘Public Holiday’. Normally this will be 7.6 hours as per the Work Agreement, those who do shorter shifts will receive the normal hours they would be rostered to work.
It is generally assumed that all staff who would normally be rostered on will be working on a Public Holiday. Talk to your manager WELL IN ADVANCE of the day if you would like to request the day off.
If you do work a Public Holiday (regardless of your normal roster):
You will get hours added to your pay that will be labelled ‘Public Holiday’.
