Did somebody say PAID time off without using your leave? … Well, kind of! 🎅

If a public holiday falls during your paid leave (like annual leave), you need to be paid your base rate for your ordinary hours on the public holiday.

The public holiday hours don’t count as leave. This means they can’t be deducted from your leave balance!
