Employee leave & holiday entitlements
Most workers are paid for public holidays, except for contract workers and casual employees who are paid only for hours worked. For most workers (except those previously mentioned), other paid leave should include annual or recreation leave, sick leave and long service leave.
Employees covered by the national workplace relations system are also entitled to leave provisions as set out in the National Employment Standards.
If you choose to use a modern award or agreement to cover your employees, there may be leave and pay arrangement entitlements for staff on public holidays.
What to do...
- Read the National Employment Standards on the Fair Work Online website.
- Refer to the pay, leave and conditions page on the Fair Work Online website for information on minimum rates of pay, leave entitlements, maximum working hours and public holiday protection under the new system.
