It’s that time of the year when we are inundated with Public Holidays!

As an employee I loved this time of year, lots of days off and I even got paid…that’s not quite the case now I’m working for myself…but I try to enjoy the days off anyway!

If you’re lucky you might find yourself spending time on a tropical beach somewhere – but if you need to check your entitlements to Public Holidays, or what you should be paid if you’re working on these Public Holidays, then head to the Fair Work website to check the details of your award.

If you’re not sure if you are employed under an award then check your contract, and at the very least you can refer to the National Employment Standards (NES) for minimum employment entitlements.

Of course our upcoming Public Holidays in Victoria include Labour Day, Easter and ANZAC Day – and I hope you all get to enjoy some extra special relaxation time with your family and friends.
