He may end up with none of them though, if he's swapped with someone. If they are a seven day a week operation they won't transfer the holidays from Saturday and Sunday to the Monday and Tuesday. If he isn't usually rostered to work on the Saturday (New Years Day) he should just get paid normal time. ]]> Thu, 16 Dec 2010 18:43:14 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1221940&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1221940 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219753&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219753 Author: tictacjunkie

Lol, wait til they change it in a haze of political correctness to people being able to pick & choose which religious holidays they observe, e.g Jewish, Islamic etc. DH just wants to know how long he'll be able to take off to put in a ranchslider, bit hard to get diy done when he doesn't get any time off. I get annoyed with the whole garden centre Easter thing. Not so much that they get fined/can't open etc, but that every single year it's a leading story on the 6 o'clock news!? ]]> Tue, 14 Dec 2010 01:32:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219753&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219753 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219571&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219571 Author: Nutella

I kinda agree Karimella but then this year I would feel rather ripped off, as we wouldn't get long weekends for xmas or new year, and then Anzac day falls on easter so don't get that either so we would essentially lose about 1/2 our public holidays.]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 19:10:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219534&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219534 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219527&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219527 Author: Kalimirella

I just think the observed holiday bit is stupid. However if your Dh isn't usually working the weekend of the new years, it could be argued he only gets 2 days in lieu for christmas.

On the observed stuff, why did we ever need that to come in? the days change every year and out of every 7 years 4 years are going to fall on a weekday.]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 19:04:49 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219527&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219527 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219234&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219234 Author: HoneybunsMa

I see you've got your answer. Just wanted to add its normally written in the contract. I know I normally do that. if you happen to be rostered on for this time period and it falls on sat/sun then you only get paid for the actual day.

I've always worked restaurants/retail where holidays aren't mondayised]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 13:23:55 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219234&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219234 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219102&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219102 Author: tictacjunkie

I suppose looking at it from another angle everyone else would only be entitled to two days off for christmas, so why should he get 4?

Hmm, he normally works every second weekend & has swapped with someone who wanted new years off, so he would normally be working all those days, hence the confusion. 4 days total is still pretty cool though, considering he didn't want to spend christmas with my family anyway (neither do I, lol), & we haven't done new years for about 10years either. ]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 10:22:00 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219051&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219051 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219008&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219008 Author: monkeys

if he normally works sat and sun he will get the day in lieu for them days.
if he normally works monday-friday then he will get them for the observed days.

you cant get them twice.

so he will get 25th,26th, 1st, & 2nd at time and a half (or double pay - depending on his contract) and 4 days in lieu total]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 09:38:57 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1219003&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1219003 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1218980&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1218980 Author: tictacjunkie

By the way, he's not trying to get more from his employer than what he's entitled too, just making sure he gets it if he is entitled.

I've tried looking on the "proper" sites but either I'm blind or there's nothing there. DH will be working from 24th Dec through til thurs the friday after New Years, so he'll be working all the Stat days. My question is- I know he gets a day in lieu for working the actual days, but does he get days in lieu for working the day "observed" as well? i.e he's working Christmas Day, boxing day, then the monday & tuesday, does he get 2 days in lieu or 4? (& the New Year's bit too?). Thanks.]]> Mon, 13 Dec 2010 09:16:04 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37088&PID=1218973&title=employment-law-stat-hol-help#1218973
