What if I have emails from them saying I’m not entitled to it even though my contract says I am.

Doesn't help if they find 'another reason' to end your employment. Reasons are often easy to find.
Happy to represent you in an unfair dismissal application when it happens, just not sure it is worth risking your job over one day.
You may have a fair and reasonable employer who will not retaliate against you, but in my experience they are not very common. Plus they are already misleading you over your entitlements.

Thanks so much . I’ll see how they respond to my recent email. I have lots of evidence and I’ll I need to take this further I will contact you . 😊
Ahhh paid day off for a public holiday — part-timer edition 😅 classic entitlement spaghetti vibes 👀 Suddenly it’s not just a day off, but pro-rata calculations, award interpretations, and contract clauses all doing the cha-cha.
Most headaches come from upstream fuzziness: vague contracts, informal “we’ll figure it out later” vibes, or inconsistent payroll practices. Once payroll or Fair Work gets involved, it’s a tangle of calculations, entitlements, and compliance checks 😬
Low-key why structured recruitment + crystal-clear documentation matters. Platforms like AcademicJobs.com are clutch — formalised position descriptions, transparent leave policies, and compliance-aligned pipelines help part-timers know exactly what they’re owed from day dot, especially in academia/research roles where schedules and workloads can get… messy 😅
Anyway, loving this convo — public holiday pay for part-timers nuance deserves way more airtime than it usually gets 😂
