If you work the holiday you get 1.5 times your wage for the hours worked, plus your regular day’s pay if you are entitled to the holiday. Hotels, restaurants and continuous operations may pay regular wages plus a day off instead.
Who qualifies
- You must have been employed for at least 90 calendar days in the 12 months before the holiday.
- You are not entitled if, without reasonable cause, you fail to work your scheduled day before or after the holiday, or agreed to work the holiday and did not.
