      Why did some employees not receive matched hours for the Public Holiday?   

      This article will help you understand why some employees have not received matched hours for the Public Holiday.

      If the auto roster tick box is left unchecked, your employee will accrue public holiday balances however they will not be paid out for this. 

      Full-Time Contract 
      • Worked the Public Holiday 

      Full-time contracts accrue their Public Holiday balances based on their contracted hours. If a full-time employee works on the day of the Public Holiday, they will receive a monetary payment to match the hours worked. 

      Example

      A full-time employee on a 40-hour contract will accrue their Public Holiday balances at 8 hours. If they work the day of the Public Holiday, they will be paid for 16 hours, 8 hours accrued and 8 hours worked. 

      • Did NOT work the Public Holiday 

      If the full-time employee did NOT work on the day of the Public Holiday. They will receive a day's entitlement for their Public Holiday accrual. 

      Example

      A full-time employee will accrue 7.8 hours for a 39-hour contract, so they will receive a day's entitlement under their Bank Holiday balance. 

       

      Part-Time Contracts 
      Part-Time employees accrue their Public Holiday balance based on 1/5 of their contracted hours.
      • Worked the Public Holiday 

      If a part-time employee works on the day of the Public Holiday, they will receive a monetary payment to match the hours worked. 

      Example

      If a part-time employee on a 20-hour contract works a 5-hour shift the day of the Public Holiday, they will be paid for 9 hours, 4 hours accrued and 5 hours worked. 

      • Did NOT work the Public Holiday 

      If the part-time employee did NOT work on the day of the Public Holiday. They will receive a payment for their Public Holiday accrual only i.e. 20-hour contract will accrue 4 hours.  

       

      Casual, Part-time and Full-time variable Contract 

      Casual, Part-time and Full-time variable employees accrue their Public Holiday balance based on the hours worked. 

      • Worked the Public Holiday 

      If the employee works on the day of the Public Holiday, they will receive a monetary payment to match the hours worked. 

      Example

      If an employee works 6 hours on the day of the Public Holiday, so they will receive a payment for those 6 hours worked + 6 hours =12 hours

      • Did NOT work the Public Holiday 

      If the employee did NOT work on the day of the Public Holiday, you will first need to check whether they are entitled to Public Holiday payment by checking if they have worked more than 40 hours in the last 5 weeks. If so, they will receive a payment for their accrued hours. 

       

      Please be advised that the matched hours entitlement is only valid within the 24-hour period of the Public Holiday, anytime after this will not be included.
