As Easter approaches us again, we remind employers that Good Friday is NOT a statutory Public Holiday. Many people assume that Bank Holidays and Public Holidays are one and the same thing but not so. Good Friday is a holiday for the Banks (and many other businesses).Employers are not obliged to give a day off or pay Public Holiday entitlement for Good Friday, unless it is part of an agreement, ERO, JLC or taken as a day’s holiday.

Easter Monday, on the other hand, is a Public Holiday. Employees who work or are required to work (i.e. rostered) on a public holiday are entitled to a paid day off on the public holiday,ora paid day off within a month:oran extra day’s annual leave;oran extra day’s payas the employer may decide.

Employees who are not normally required to work or are not rostered to work on a public holiday will be entitled to one fifth of the normal weekly rate of remuneration for the public holiday.
