Hurrah for holidays!
What do you need to know about processing wages for annual leave over the Christmas break?
We’ve googled the important info for you.
Fairwork says:
Holiday pay (annual leave) allows an employee to be paid while having time off work.
Full-time and part-time employees get 4 weeks of annual leave every year. Casual employees don’t get paid time off, but can ask their employer about taking unpaid leave for holidays.
When a public holiday falls on a full-time or part-time employee’s usual work day, employers need to pay them their minimum pay rate for their usual hours.
