An employee works his contracted 40 hours/week on a 'compressed hours' schedule over 4 days/week with every Monday off.
If a public holiday falls on the weekend and is moved to the following Monday, I assume the employee still has a right to that public holiday. Does the day in lieu of that public holiday need to be taken on the Tuesday immediately following or is there some flexibility as to when they take this compensatory day? Is it best to simply plan ahead and any add any days that may fall under this scenario to the employee's annual holiday entitlement? And if so, does this have any impact on the limit of 5 days carryover rule onto the following year that is incorporated into the employee's contract?
