If you need help in determining what you need to pay your employees for these public holidays, get in touch and we can talk through what you need to know.
If your business closes down over the Christmas period and your Award allows it, you can require your employees to take annual leave during a period when your business will be closed.
You should check your award to see if it allows you to require employees to take annual leave during a close down period, including information about providing notice.
