Public Holidays in Tasmania

In Tasmania the provisions of the Statutory Holidays Act 2000 determine the dates of 'public holidays'. Both Statewide and local holidays are prescribed in Schedule 1 of the Act, removing the necessity to appoint the holidays each year.

Work performed on public holidays is usually paid at an increased (penalty) rate with a minimum payment as specified. Employees engaged on a weekly basis whose ordinary hours of work coincide with a public holiday are entitled to the day off without loss of pay.

Important note:

An entitlement to paid holidays for employees is not derived from the Statutory Holidays Act 2000 but is determined by relevant awards and/or industrial agreements. The legislation does, however, provide details of substitution arrangements when certain holidays fall on weekends.
