ANZAC Day – 25 April – is now subject to the same arrangements regarding Days in Lieu and payment rate as all other Statutory Holidays.

The Union therefore repeats its advice as regards Easter as in Newsletter No.6/2004.

Any member on duty, whether normal rostered shift or on additional overtime shift from midnight Saturday 24 April to midnight Sunday 25 April, i.e. Night Shift 24 April, Day Shift 25 April and Night Shift 25 April –

a) Submit a claim at T1½ for all hours worked during this 24 hour period. This will be in addition to any other payments that are being claimed on that day.
