Queens Birthday Holiday 2014


Published 01 May 2014

An Employee who 'normally' works on Monday, but is not required to work on the public holiday will be paid for the day at the 'relevant daily rate' (what they would have received if they had worked the day in question).

If the Employee is required to work they will receive 'time and a half' for the hours worked , and providing it is a 'normal' day of work, ONE alternative holiday, to be taken later.

Alternative holidays and relevant daily rate calculations are discussed in depth in our eBook Annual Holidays & Leave which members can download from the Dashboard Library on www.EmployersToolbox.co.nz.
