Long story short, we have had an employee resign giving 26 Dec as their final date of work.
Unfortunately the manager of the person in question accepted the resignation without question.
I'm having a spirited debate with a colleague as to whether we are required to pay the public holidays.
Anyone got information or link to legislation that could settle this one? Person is in a management role and paid around $130K base so not really subject to any award.
My view is we shouldn't pay it, but that is due to having seen her management style and prepared to be unfair on her own staff causing issues for us on principle, I would like to send her on her way with a thought that she needs to be a bit fairer in her future staff dealings. The alternative view is that because the manager accepted the resignation we have to honour it.
