I feel like such a whore. I've got 11 hours paid on Saturday across four departments lined up. I suspect the office cashier is going to kill me cos he can only put three into people planner, but oh well :)

You think it's going to happen lol
Unless I get adequate notice, I will be leaving :) I asked her again today and she was like 'nah don't worry'.

And if I wanted to be a total ass, I would leave at 10am, which is my contracted finish time :)

I am struggling to follow these public holidays which seem to be all over the shot.
My roster for this week is:

Wed | 1615 - 2230 SELFSERVE
THU | 1200 - 1700 OPERATOR
SAT | 1500 - 2230 SELFSERVE

Am I going to be paid public holiday rates on Thursday and Saturday? If so, wow! My crappy 17.5 hours turns into a lot of money.

Sometimes I wish I lived in Aus for the great public holiday rates and sunday rates.

Here Sunday is just classified as a normal trade day :( No shorter opening hours, no special rates. Public hols are 1.5 hours.

We are the land of the long weekend. :)

Are public holidays over there voluntary to work?
