Hello, I work part time and am covered by the -Hospitality Industry (General) Award 2010 (Award) as a clerical worker. Am I entitled to a paid day off on a public holiday if that day falls on a regular work day for me? I have been told by my employer no I am not entitled to get paid if I do not work that day.

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 sort it 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, funding, and workloads can get… messy 😅
Anyway, loving this convo — public holiday pay for part-timers nuance deserves way more airtime than it usually gets 😂
