Someone mentioned something about the 6 weeks A/L being compensation for public holidays in a prior post. I don’t believe this has been expressly stated in any EBA, rather suggested by management. It’s a null and void argument.
It's explicitly stated in the Air Pilots Award 2020:
29. Public holidays
29.1 For the avoidance of doubt:
- (a) the minimum wage provided for in this award;and
(b) the entitlement to annual leave in clause 23—Annual leave,
take into account an employee’s entitlement to public holidays in the NES and include compensation for all public holidays provided for in the NES.
