Yep you have to pay them. Even if you are a casual, that doesn't mean you are not entitled to be paid. I work in employment relations, and there is a lot of misunderstandings around public holidays!

The number one rule of thumb for working it out is to think, but for it being a public holiday, would I be expected to work? If yes, then yep you are due to be paid. The previous two/three/four same days of the week (i.e. the last four Mondays) is one of the ways of working out entitlement (pattern of work), but not the only way. Obviously in your situation Emma as you are only just starting, it wouldn't apply for you.

If you have any problems call Dept of Labour ]]> Thu, 16 Dec 2010 21:02:44 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1222056&title=public-holidays#1222056 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1221999&title=public-holidays#1221999 Author: jaz

Easiest way to find out is to ring the Employment Relations Service (part of the Department of Labour). ]]> Thu, 09 Dec 2010 13:28:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1216683&title=public-holidays#1216683 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1216651&title=public-holidays#1216651 Author: _SMS_

If you are employed casually they wont have to pay you. Only if its permanent and your normal day of work falls on the public holiday.

Linzy is right as far as i'm aware. I'm full time permanant but i don't get stat days unless i've worked the previous two days of the week. (ie. the two mondays before) but that is because i work shifts and they switch around. I think if you call the labour department (they have an 0800 number) they should be able to tell you.]]> Thu, 09 Dec 2010 11:41:41 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1216600&title=public-holidays#1216600 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1216597&title=public-holidays#1216597 Author: CarleyRose

Don't they have to have worked the day of the holiday for the 2 weeks prior? So if the holiday is on a Monday they have to have worked the 2 previous Mondays? So if they are only working the week before xmas I don't think you do have to pay them]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 20:27:59 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1216255&title=public-holidays#1216255 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1216058&title=public-holidays#1216058 Author: CarleyRose

In answer to your question about them being carried over it all depends on what days you normally work. If you normally work Sat and Sun then they are observed on the Sat and Sun and not carried over, however if you work Mon - Fri then they will carry over to the Mon & Tues.

Hope this helps :-)]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 15:11:43 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1216036&title=public-holidays#1216036 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1215969&title=public-holidays#1215969 Author: CarleyRose

Yep they have to pay you the stat days, but only if they're on days you would usually work. I'm not too sure how that works this year, with most of the stat days being on the weekend... are they transferred to the closest weekday?]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 14:00:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1215963&title=public-holidays#1215963 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1215958&title=public-holidays#1215958 Author: lilfatty

Just hoping some of you lovely ladies can help me out.

If you employ someone to work for you a week before xmas starts,do you have to pay them public holidays?

I know it 12months until you get normal holidays and 6mths for sick leave but i'm a little unsure about this one. I thought you do have to pay but someone has told me different.]]> Wed, 08 Dec 2010 13:55:11 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37024&PID=1215957&title=public-holidays#1215957
