From 14 November 2022
The part-day public holiday schedules were removed from awards effective from ppc 14 November 2022. All public holiday provisions are in the body of the award.
Before 14 November 2022
Most awards contained a part-day public holiday schedule.
The schedules cover public holidays that have been declared between 6pm and midnight, or 7pm and midnight on:
- Christmas Eve (24 December)
- New Year’s Eve (31 December).
If there is an inconsistency between the schedule and the public holiday terms in the award, the term in the schedule applies.
