An employee’s entitlement turns principally on the public-holiday law applying where the employee is **based for work purposes**, not simply the location of the employer’s head office or payroll team. It may also be affected by an applicable award, enterprise agreement or employment contract that provides for substitution or additional benefits. Whether the employee is paid for being absent on the public holiday generally depends on whether they would otherwise have had ordinary hours on that day; separate penalty-rate or substitution provisions may apply if they work.
