Are your Easter public holidays up to date in payroll?

With the silly season behind us, we are in fast pursuit of Easter. It is important to have your key dates ready to ensure you are providing Employees with their correct entitlements. 

PUBLIC HOLIDAYS 

  • Good Friday - Friday, 10 April 2020 

  • Easter Monday - Monday, 13 April 

  • ANZAC Day - Sunday, 25 April (observed on Monday, 27 April) 

THINGS TO REMEMBER

  • To be entitled to a paid day off on a public holiday must fall on a day that would otherwise be a working day for them 

  • Make sure you are encouraging your Team to fill out a Leave form, this assists payroll and is good housekeeping if any queries occur

  • If it is unclear what the Employee’s normal working days are, then consider the following factors:

    • Their Employment Agreement – are they casual or permanent?

    • Their work patterns – e.g. rosters

    • What are your reasonable expectations that the Employee would work on the day concerned?

If you have any further questions regarding holiday pay and entitlements, then give the team at People Passion a call on 09 299 2525.
