Dear ozbargainers,
My sister is working full time in child care. We are not sure whether counting public holidays as annual leave is right?

No they aren't counted as annual leave.
As above, Public holidays should not be counted as annual leave
Had that in a contract once, didn't realise until after the pay (or lack of) came through.
So just double check her contract.
It's messed up that it's included in some contracts :/
You can't contract something that breaches legislation
Annual leave is covered by the Industrial Relations Act and the National Employment Standard. You cannot clear annual leave on a public holiday.https://www.fairwork.gov.au/leave/public-holidays/not-workin…
thanks, great advice
Probably a HR department.
I've had an employer try and make me sign a contract that denies sick leave if you don't get your flu shot and get sick. Turns out someone in HR was trying to make a name for himself…. and he did ;)
not sure whether its the manager of the centre or HR fault. Since its a public company
The comment was more directed at Spackbace and I think a HR employee went on a downvoting spree ;)

public hols don't count with annual leave but they do with long service leave.
Annual Leave is Annual Leave, public holiday is additional.
If you are talk about bank holiday then it is different story
