SIMON Corbell has announced plans to make life a little fairer for workers rostered on for public holiday weekends.

“The changes to the ACT’s Holidays Act 1958 provide that 25 December, 26 December and 1 January will all be official public holidays when they occur on a weekend, in addition to public holidays the following Monday or Tuesday, as appropriate,” Simon said.

“The changes ensure that workers who will miss out on spending time with family on these important holiday occasions will be properly compensated.”

This change brings the ACT into line with NSW.
