3.21 What if I work on a holiday?

Your employer must pay you your normal wages and:

• pay you an amount usually equal to one day’s wages; or
• offer you a paid day off.

If you want to be paid, your employer must pay you a certain amount. In general, this comes out to one day’s pay.

If you want the paid day off, you must take it within three (3) weeks before or after the holiday.
