5. EASTER SUNDAY
Because of the strong lobbying by the SDA, Easter
Sunday has been legislated as a public holiday
throughout Queensland.
From 2017, Easter Sunday is treated just like any
other public holiday on the calendar. Members
can now choose whether to work or not, enjoy
the non-working day benefit and be paid public
holiday penalties if they choose to work.
(b) another day off with pay with next period of
annual leave; or
(c) another day off with pay in the week prior to
the public holiday; or
(d) another day off with pay within 28 days after
the public holiday. If agreement can not be
reached within 28 days after the public holiday
(a) will apply.

Public Holidays for Coles & Bilo Team Members ∞
SOME COMMON QUESTIONS
Q. What happens if a Public Holiday falls in my
Holidays?
A. Don’t worry. You do not lose your
entitlement to the public holiday.
Q. Do roster changes affect my entitlement to
public holidays?
A No, your roster cannot be changed to
avoid payment of penalties, loadings or other
benefits. Should this occur you are still entitled
to the benefit. If you are unsure of how this
entitlement may affect you, please contact
your Shop Steward or Union Organiser at the
Union Office.
Q. Do I have to work on a public holiday?
A. Even though the company’s objective is
for all employees to be available to work a
minimum of 50% of public holidays when the
business is able to trade, all work on a public
holiday for ALL team members is voluntary. I
repeat, VOLUNTARY.
