We’ll be closing the office for the long weekend, if you are closing too – be aware of the payroll implications.
Fairwork says:
Employees (except casual employees) who normally work on the day a public holiday falls will be paid their base pay rate for the ordinary hours they would have worked if they had not been away because of the public holiday.
The base pay rate doesn’t include:
– any incentive-based payments
– bonuses
– loadings
– monetary allowances
– overtime or
– penalty rates.
An employee’s roster can’t be changed to deliberately avoid this payment.
An employee doesn’t get paid for a public holiday if they don’t normally work on the day that the public holiday falls.
