IANAL, but I'm pretty sure you get a day in lieu for every day you'd normally work. If that's just being 'paid out', then sure, but afaik it's certainly more than one day.

I just don’t understand the mechanism that there are two public holidays (that I work on) but I’d only get paid one of them. unless it’s a special easter thing designed so you’d in theory get a weekday or a week day day off but wasn’t designed to give someone both

not getting paid twice for public holidays happens when there is a public holiday on sunday (for example) that gets monday-ized and you happen to work both the sunday and the monday. good friday and easter monday are two separate public holidays so you should get paid for both

Employers in NZ can be really wrong on this, even down to HR people who you'd think would know the law enough to do their jobs, but I've seen people do poo poo like "oh you only worked till 1:30am on the public holiday and you don't work Monday so it doesn't count" or whatever. The common-sense way you imagine it to work is indeed how the law's written but bosses love to pretend it's real complex and full of exceptions.

From memory it doesn’t, some public holidays like xmas do but I am sure Easter Sunday doesn’t.

Looking into it seems that Easter Sunday is a restricted trading day but NOT a public holiday, whereas Good Friday is a public holiday.

I’ll have 5 days lieu leave after that. working public holidays kinda sucks until you realise you just get paid more to take the holiday when you choose

Ah you misunderstand me, "normally work" is referring to you having a standard schedule leading up to the holiday, not to imply that they're off on the holiday. With a bunch of variable-shift jobs like wait staff, they can get shafted on the day in lieu if they only work mondays 50% of the time.

goddamn I remember when you couldn't even ADVERTISE on tv on a sunday, absolute bliss. I think the removal of that rule sparked my obsession with avoiding ads outright for the rest of my life.

Apparently the National parties new renewable energy policy is "continue doing more or less what's already in the works". I guess it's nice to see a policy announcement that is essentially announcing support for the current government, not a reactionary "we won't do this thing", but it's still pretty thin...

If you're rostered to work a stat day, mondayised or otherwise, you get an alternative holiday (Remember to record the date precisely, Holidays Act is pretty heavy on people who take it before the 12 month aging process) and time-and-a-half for the hours you worked. That's a whole day, by the way, so if you've got 4 hours roster for one day and 12 for another, the day in lieu is technically valid for either. (Be aware that some SME bosses know this, and might suggest you take the alt on a low-roster day to save on leave liability. Fletchers and Placemakers were pretty bad for this when I was doing their remediation) If you're not rostered, you get the time-and-a-half, but no Alt day. If your shift goes into a stat day, you get time and a half for the hours you worked on the stat, but no alt unless the stat day is rostered. If your shift normally goes into the next day, that counts as rostered. If you don't work stat days and you ain't rostered for them, you get poo poo. If you are rostered, you get ODP for that day and spend the rest of it... gently caress, I don't know, smoking something that wasn't able to escape the night bucket, whatever you people do.

Not to defend poo poo employers trying to take advantage but this stuff is actually complicated and confusing and full of exceptions. I have a very intelligent friend (no this isn’t a weird way of talking about myself because I’m definitely not that smart) who is a technical writer which basically means he puts technical poo poo into layman’s terms for people. Part of his job to explain this poo poo to employers so they don’t gently caress it up and he finds it way more of a headache than other parts of his job like writing manuals for VCRs or whatever else he does. I work hospo which has a lot of exactly the sort of employers who will try and use this poo poo to their advantage if they can actually understand it but tbh as dumb as I am I’m at least as smart as half of them and I can barely understand it myself so basically what I’m saying is never assume malice when something can be adequately explained by incompetence

Also if you benefit from not looking into things, why the hell would you look into them? "Just checking if I owe my employees more than they in their ignorance expect"? I've seen it play out multiple times in multiple countries. That poo poo is universal - enforcement is lax and worker awareness is nil so why would they bother getting it right? Hell I was party to a class action suit that sent me a check like 13 years after I worked at a dying blockbuster (but when BB was still huge and owned by Viacom) due to Viacom not knowing California's laws about breaks. Like, a giant company that had a team of permanently engaged lawyers and such. Sky NZ, same. I believe it's better to view all of this, inertia or ignorance or not, as malice and act accordingly in your own interest.

I mean, Stuart Nash was given the oversight to unfuck the Holidays Act back in 2019 because every task force who did some digging found that it was pretty much loving impossible to be compliant with the thing. Man said he'd do something about it. Turns out that something was to heave it into the Too-hard bin.
