Q: We have an employee who is usually based in Taranaki. A few days before the Taranaki Public Holiday he was deployed to work in Auckland. Should he have received time and a half for working on the day which was the public holiday in Taranaki, even though he was in Auckland?

A: t is based on their home province date not the region they are in on the day so yes they should get the 1.5 and Alt day  (if an otherwise working day).
