Working on Labour Day (Melbourne, Australia)?

Question

Hey guys i'm working in Melbourne just now whilst travelling Oz. I hear it's Labour Day on Monday. Should I need to work this and if so should I get extra pay or anything? Thanks

Answer 1

If you get a shift then work. I get double pay cause it's on a public holiday yay!! Where do you work?? I work at Supre.

Answer 2

Isn't this a question you should be asking your boss?

It does depend on what sort of contract (if any) you have, and what conditions you are working under. This really varies from job to job, and not all workers get extra pay for Labour Day.

Answer 3

zafir gave you the correct answer...

depends what you do ... some people will be working , some won't ....

some of us won't be working Monday BUT will be literally busting our proverbials on Tuesday because the other states aren't having a Holiday and we'll have to do our work that deals with them on Monday ON TUESDAY ( as well as what would normally happen on a Tuesday...)
