YOUR PUBLIC HOLIDAY PAY RATES: EASTER AND ANZAC DAY

Victorian Public Hospitals and Health Services

If you normally work on a public holiday, but are not rostered on, you should receive a day’s ordinary wages.

If you've taken annual leave which falls over the public holidays, the public holiday is not counted as an annual leave day. 

All hours worked, including overtime on public holidays should be paid at the penalty rate shown below.

Most private sector and aged care agreements provide for double time if you work Easter Saturday or Easter Sunday, but please check your agreement for details. 

• The Nurses Award 2020 provides 200%
