Boxing Day

[Brunswick Trap King]

I work part-time at Woolworths and work Tuesdays and Saturdays.

Boxing Day is on a Saturday this year which means the public holiday is transferred to the Monday.

Do I still get the Saturday as a public holiday? I have to travel 4 hours to spend Christmas with my family, so I don't have any real wish to work on Boxing Day.

Check with HR but you would almost certainly get Saturday rates (time and a half?) for Boxing Day, public holiday rates for the gazetted public holiday.
I don't imagine Woolies being kind enough to give rates they don't have to.

I worked Anzac Day this year which fell on a Saturday and was paid P.H. rate, but there was no holiday on the Monday so its not quite the same. Wouldn't trust what your company tells you, better checking with your union if you have one or Fair Work Ombudsmen.

I remember years ago working 7am on New Years Day but it was a Saturday and getting bloody Saturday rates and the pricks who worked 2 days later on the Monday got the double time...
