Working on Australia Day (1 Viewer)

For part time job, is there an additional wage? I forgot to ask my employer! (I work at pizza hut, if anyone else knows if they pay extra please tell me.) TIA

This is a WA site but it says:
Exclusions

Casual employees are not entitled to paid public holidays.


I do hope its that way

what the hell? i'm a casual employee, and i sure as hell get paid more on public holidays.

It depends where you work. My work has done some rediculous loophole of 'averaging public holidays out' amongst your pay (but they clearly didn't) so when I worked today I got a flat rate of $11.08/hour which sucked balls.

 

[Kujah]

Did any of you guys work today?

 

[Sarah168]

Whaaaaaat? I'm a casual (albeit, in my last week as a casual) and I sure as hell hope I got paid 2.5x the wage today ><

I got double-time and a half.

I worked on Aus Day, and I got my pay cut to minimum wage, then time and a half on that... So like, a dollar more an hour.

If you have signed a workplace agreement, you may not get paid more.

You may get a higher payrate overall, and this cancells out your public holiday rates.

Is your time worth more to you on the 26th than any other day? If not then quit bitching.

yeah every job is diff.. i work at a supermarket and got double time as a casual

i dont know about part time but full time staff get the day off and still get paid for it!

 

[ccc123]

I got double time. I think you should get extra pay unless you signed something agreeing to the workplace reforms, in which case it'd be different.

 

[pLuvia]

I worked 2.4 times normal wage, should be 2.5 don't know why they put it as that

Yeah, it is, seeing as we made about tripple what we normally make and there are only two people on.

i didn't work on aus day, but where i work, people who worked got paid double time and a half.

 

[Scanorama]

double time and a half for 5 hours

 

[townie]

casual yes, part time no

well, i know my time is worth more on public holidays, and there is no way i would work one for no extra pay
