I work in a restaurant from Monday to Friday and I always work on a general holiday. Am I entitled to more than my normal wage for that day?
Yes.
Because you are working on a holiday that would be a normal workday
for you, your employer can either:
- pay
you your average daily wage plus one and a half times your regular
wage rate for every hour you work that day, or
- pay
you your regular wage plus any overtime and give you a holiday
with pay on another normal working day before your next annual
vacation. The holiday must be taken on a day you would normally
work.
