Public holidays and time off

Monday 29 October 2018 is a public holiday. If you normally work on a Monday, you are entitled to either:

• A paid day off on the public holiday
• A paid day off within a month of the public holiday
• An additional day’s pay
• An additional day’s annual leave

If you do not normally work on a Monday, then you are entitled to one-fifth of your normal weekly wage for that day.

Part-time employees qualify for public holiday entitlement if they have worked at least 40 hours during the 5 weeks ending on the day before a public holiday.
