If an employee works a public holiday, they are entitled to be paid time-and-a-half for the hours worked. And, if the public holiday happens to fall on a day they normally work, they're also entitled to a day in lieu.

There are special arrangements for public holidays over the Christmas and New Year period, and for Waitangi Day and ANZAC Day.

Public holidays over the Christmas and New Year period
If a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, and the employee:
- doesn't usually work that day, the holiday is transferred to the following Monday or Tuesday. The employee still gets a paid day off if they usually work on these days.
- usually works that day, the holiday remains at the traditional day and the employee is entitled to a paid day off.

Note that an employee can't be entitled to more than four public holidays over the Christmas and New Year period, regardless of their work roster.

Waitangi Day and Anzac Day
If the public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday and the employee:
- doesn't usually work that day, the holiday is transferred to the following Monday so that the employee still gets a paid day off.
- usually works that day, the holiday remains at the traditional day and the employee is entitled to a paid day off.
