Public Holidays
Workers must get paid time off for public holidays, but if they agree to work, they must be paid double their normal daily wage. The provisions for public holidays do not apply to –
- senior management
- sales staff who travel
- workers who work less than 24 hours a month.
Workers must get paid time off for any public holiday that falls on a working day. Working on a public holiday is by agreement only.
A public holiday can be exchanged with another day by agreement. A public holiday cannot be counted as annual leave.
