Public Holiday Payment

Q: I have a query regarding public holiday payment to casual employee. There is a casual employee and I checked his last 8 weeks and 6 weeks he worked on Friday, so should pay public holiday unworked payment to casual employees in such a case?


A: The standard test would be 4 weeks but basing it on 8 they should get the day as there is a pattern (better than 50% over the period):

  • 1, 2,3 days not worked out of 8 no they don’t get the day

4,5,6,7-8 days they do
