These holidays typically allow employees to enjoy a paid day off, in addition to their annual leave entitlements.<\/p>\n<p>For those required to work on public holidays, higher penalty rates of pay often apply. When a public holiday falls on a weekend, it is generally observed on the following Monday, resulting in a long weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a list of the nationally recognised <strong>public holidays
