How is the employee who works shifts of varying hours and who does not work on the paid public holiday to be paid?
A. First, establish whether or not the employee is eligible for paid public holiday benefits by finding out whether or not the employee has: been employed by the employer for at least 30 days prior to the paid holiday, and worked his/her scheduled shifts prior to and after the paid holiday. If these criteria are met, the employee has the right to be paid for the paid public holiday. To establish the rate at which the employee should be paid requires multiplying the employees hourly rate of pay by the average number of hours worked in a day by the employee in the 3 weeks immediately preceding the holiday.
