Not sure if this is the right sub to ask. If not, please be kind and simply direct me on where to ask.
I am a part time permanent employee of OSHC/OOSH (working with primary school children as an educator) – and on public holidays when we are closed, are we supposed to be paid what we would usually get paid on that day?
They grey area might be because the public holiday is right in the middle of school holidays (my hours are 10am-6pm as seen on the shift for 27th Jan) I should be getting those hours for Australia Day. But instead they have put the shift like after school care which happens in the school term and we are not in the school term right now.
Even the location changed to a place which is currently closed for the school holidays – so surely they can't even make the excuse that they had simply reduced my hours for that school holiday day or something?

Your contact is probably for 2-6, since 40 out of 50 weeks that’s what you’d work. Unless theres a clause in your contract that actually states the different hours during the holiday period
