Qualifying for public holiday entitlements
鈥淕enerally, employees qualify for the public holiday entitlement unless they:
- Fail without reasonable cause to work all of their last regularly scheduled day of work before the public holiday or all of their first regularly scheduled day of work after the public holiday (this is called the 鈥淟ast and First Rule鈥)
or
- Fail without reasonable cause to work their entire shift on the public holiday if they agreed to or were required to work that day.
Note: Most employees who fail to qualify for the public holiday entitlement are still entitled to be paid premium pay for every hour they work on the holiday.鈥
