As casual employees have no fixed working time, many employers are not sure how to pay public holidays for them. According to Employment NZ, the employer should firstly figure out whether or not the day of public holiday is an otherwise working day for the employee. If it is, the employer will need to use Average Daily Pay, which is a daily average of the employee’s gross earnings over the past 52 weeks. Also, if the employees work on a public holiday, they will get one time and a half of the Average Daily Pay.
