Public holidays and long service leave
With the Christmas break approaching fast, remember that under Section 39AE of the Admin Act, public holidays do not count as long service leave.
This means if you have employees on long service leave on a public holiday during that period, they will not have any hours deducted from their long service leave balance.
If you have any questions about completing or amending leave applications for the Christmas break, please get in touch. Our recent article about the Queen's Memorial Public Holiday may also provide some insights for administration of leave applications that include public holidays.
