Hi,
As a full-time employee in a business that is exempt from the public holiday exclusions (Christmas Day, Boxing Day, Anzac Day before 1pm), can I be forced to work on a public holiday? My workplace employment contract states that I'm available public holidays and any time off will be considered but not guaranteed which I understand means I'll work 99% of them, but my problem is my employer forcing me to work Christmas Day which I feel to be unreasonable.
I've found this information Retail_trading_on_unrestricted_days but I'm unsure as to whether since I've signed an employment contract with my employer it makes the above information null and void.
Thanks in advance!
