Surely this isn't right - concerning pay.

[briggsy's girl]

nah, you shouldn't have to work longer ordinary hours at all

if you worked longer than your standard 7.6day on the PH you should get higher penalty rates for that day. then anything you worked extra for the other four days should also be paid higher rates

[~Kim~]

what does your agreement say is a normal working week? That's where they might get away with it.
For example we are on a rotating roster so might work 46hours one week and then 32 the next - therefore still only working 76hrs a fortnight.

You should still get some benefit for working public holidays though, whether it be higher pay rate or extra leave. Not all employers pay a higher rate.

38hr week. I got the PH benefits, that's not the issue. I will ask my RGM and see if she can shed some light on it, maybe she knows something about the agreement that I do not.
