There are some key workplace rules and obligations to be aware of during the end-of-year period. Here’s a checklist to help you stay across them:
- Provide the required notice if directing employees to take annual leave during a shutdown period.
- Get familiar with the rules relating to annual leave requests. Remember, annual leave requests can only be refused if it’s reasonable to do so.
- Ensure your payroll system accounts for public holidays that fall during employee leave, so that leave is not incorrectly deducted.
- Check that any upcoming or planned overtime requests are reasonable and what overtime rates apply (if any).
- Communicate to employees if pay day will be impacted by a public holiday.
