Payment of PH’s - VIC Employees Only

Christmas Day and New Years’ Day fall on a weekend and an ADDITIONAL day has been declared for each public holiday.  

Enterprise Agreements vary, but most take one of the following two approaches:

•  A weekend worker employee receives the public holiday benefit for the day they work, being the actual day or the additional day but not both.  (Weekend worker model). Penalties are payable for weekend workers for either day but not both days. In the case of other staff, the additional day is the public holiday.
  or
• substitute the actual day public holiday with additional day public holiday (Substitute model).

Please note, that there are additional requirements for the Substitute Model which will be sent out to VIC roster managers via email.
