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.
