Q: Needing confirmation on if an employee works from 1/1/23 10.00 pm until 6.00 am 2/1/24 he thinks this is 2 different public holidays and so the employee should get 2 stat days needing to confirm if this is correct or no?
A: If no agreement is in place, then the employee would get two alternative holidays if both days are otherwise working days for the employee.
Here is a reference from the EmploymentNZ website:
Tom works 8 hours from 10 pm Christmas Day to 6 am on Boxing Day and both are otherwise working days for Tom Tom gets:
8 hours pay of at least time and a half, and
2 alternative holidays (one each for Christmas and Boxing Day).
