Anzac Day 2015 – How does Mondayising affect me?

Posted 15 April 2015 by Mike Johnson Anzac Day, stat days, Mondayising;

If your business is normally Monday to Friday then ANZAC Day affects you on Monday 27^th, which should be treated as a public holiday for all staff.

For other businesses, if an employee normally works (or would normally have been rostered to work) on the Saturday 25^th, the Saturday is their public holiday.  Other employees, however, would be treated as if the public holiday falls on Monday.  And you cannot manipulate things by changing rosters – their entitlement will be determined by their usual roster pattern.

This means that for businesses that normally are open on Saturdays, on the Monday some staff will have a public holiday while others will not.  Confusing? – I’m afraid so, (but, for those companies that don’t close for Christmas, it is the same as Christmas/New Year).

To complicate matters it will be the Saturday that is affected by trading restrictions - not the Monday.

Any questions give us a ring.
