I'm working every one of those days. I'm working every day except xmas for the next few weeks. Unfortunately, I'm working for my parents, so penalty rates don't apply :(

Incorrect.

At Coles Myer
New Years Day is double time and a half - my store isn't open though.

Monday and Tuesday (Xmas and Boxing days holidays) are both at double and a half as well.
And the Monday (New years holiday) is double time and a half.

However, now that you have mentioned Boxing day is at normal Sunday rate then I am now :confused: but it would be pretty stupid if there was no penalty rate for boxing day - even if it IS a Sunday. my store's closed all Xmas weekend anyway so it doesn't bother me.

Actually, you are incorrect again :p

The public holiday for Boxing Day carries over to the Tuesday.
The Monday is the public holiday for Xmas Day because it falls on Saturday.
Therefore, Xmas day must have a public holiday on a Weekday and Boxing Day must also have a public holiday on a weekday as it falls on a weekend also.

incorrect again? please tell me where i was incorrect the first time. also i dont think you have bothered to check the link in my post earlier. it tells you boxing day carries forth to the monday. i suggest you check out the facts that are right in front of you before making assumptions

Mate...I know the facts thank you.

Because Christmas day falls on a weekend, it has to have a public holiday the following Weekday and because Boxing Day falls on a weekend, it has to have a public holiday the following Weekday, respectively.

So in conclusion,

Monday is Xmas Day Holiday.
Tuesday is Boxing Day Holiday.

The End, stop arguing about it, i know what I'm talking about - I am the president.

i have to work tomorrow (sunday) - no penalty rates... (i'm full time on salary though... no one at my workplace gets extra on sunday)... and mon and tues i just get a day in lieu (so basically i'm getting double time, but get half the cash now and half later)
thing that sucks is with my old company we used to get paid for christmas day (even though we are closed) - but we have new owners and our contracts have changed.. it sucks

We got :

Xmas Day - Double time and 1/4.
Boxing Day - Double time (sunday rates)
27th - Double time and a half
28th - Double time and a half
New Years - Double time and a half
3rd - Double time and a half.

If you're permanent but not rostered on any given public holiday, you're paid the base rate instead.

no, they can request you work, but they also have the power to not call you in at another time if you refuse.
