Easter weekend is just around the corner. T
his year, Good Friday falls on 29th March and Easter Monday on 1st April. These are both public holidays. Employees who normally work on these days will receive a paid day off, and if required to work, will receive time and a half for the hours worked on those days, and an alternative holiday if the day is an otherwise working day for the Employee.
Easter Sunday is NOT a public holiday. This means that there is no entitlement to a paid day off or time and a half for hours worked on this day under the Holidays Act 2003. An Employer and Employee may agree in their employment agreement to more favourable terms.
