Ensure that you know your penalty rates if working public holidays during April.
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.
Private and aged care sectors
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.
Don’t forget to check your payslips to ensure you’ve been paid correctly and if you have any questions contact member support via the member dashboard or email hotline@npav.com.au
