This year Christmas Day and New Year’s Day fall on a Friday and this means that Boxing Day and 2 January will fall on a weekend day (Saturday) and will therefore be ‘Mondayised’ for some employees. Mondayisation is intended to ensure Monday to Friday employees get a Christmas/New Year holiday where one or both of the public holidays falls on a weekend day. Therefore, for employees who do not usually work at the weekend Monday, this year, is for them their official public holiday (Christmas/New Year’s Day). However, for employees who do usually work on a Saturday, Saturday remains the official public holiday.

For both Christmas and New Year this works as follows:

Employee usually works on a Friday	Entitled to day off paid at relevant daily pay (what the employee would have earned if he or she had worked)
Employee does not usually work on a Friday	Not entitled to any payment nor to any other time off
Employee usually works on a Saturday	Entitled to the day off paid at relevant daily pay (what the employee would have earned if he or she had worked)
Employee does not usually work on a Saturday	Entitled to a day off on Monday paid at relevant daily pay (what the employee would have earned if he or she had worked)
Employee usually works on a Friday and does work	Entitled to payment at time and a half for the hours worked and an alternative paid day off on some other working day.
Employee usually works on a Saturday and does work	Entitled to payment at time and a half for the hours worked and a paid day off on some other working day.
Employee does not usually work on a Saturday (so Christmas Day and New Year’s Day are Mondayised for that employee) but works on the Monday	Entitled to payment at time and a half for the hours worked and an alternative paid day off on some other working day.

All employees are entitled to payment at time and half for work on a public holiday. However, an employee who only works for an employer on a public holiday has no entitlement to a paid day off at some other time.

No employee is entitled to more than 4 public holidays over the Christmas/New year period or to 4 alternative days should an employee work on all 4 public holiday.
