if were rostered on for friday/sunday do we still get paid even though the stores closed?

 

[watatank]

if you're part/full timer then yes. or if the stores closed but you still go to work there then yes.

Yeah. I got Sunday. I was hoping that it would be about 32 bucks - but then got told that it's not a public holiday.

Yet some people say it is.

Anywhere I can search for this?

I think only Friday, Saturday and Monday are days for penalty rates, if your store is open on any of these days. http://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/holidays/
Can someone confirm this?

 

[watatank]

At Woolies on Fri, Sat, Mon penalty rates apply if your store is open.

 

[fernando]

yeah double time and a half

 

[ticky2002]

That sucks.

Does anyone know why penalty rates can't be applied to Sundays?

Because Sunday is already time and a half and also, 'Easter Sunday' is not an official public holiday.

 

[watatank]

Neither is Easter Saturday though which is what I found weird.

Actually, Easter Saturday is a public holiday. http://www.industrialrelations.nsw.gov.au/holidays/

no.

EDIT - unless you re on fulltime salary, but you would still be expected to maintain x number of hours of work that week.

I'm PPT Wage and if I'm rostered on a day where the store is closed (as I was for Good Friday) I get my normal pay - ie no bonus time but just normal time pay for the hours of my rostered shift....BUT the boss can then ask you to work that day and then get a day in lieu (actually that can happen on any public holiday) where you get normal pay and then a day off later......
