With 2022 coming to a close, we understand many businesses need to consider employee entitlements over the Christmas and New Year period. 

Our Workplace Advisers on the Business Advice Hotline can answer your questions about employee entitlements when working through the holiday period, and what it means for businesses shutting down between Christmas and New Year. 

We can assist you with:

• directing employees to take leave 

• public holidays over Christmas and New Year

• public holidays during annual leave

• paying employees who don’t work on a public holiday

• public holidays during annual leave

• working extra hours and working on public holidays

• changes to Industrial relations legislation including flexible work arrangements, enterprise agreements, fixed-term contracts and pay secrecy.

The South Australian Business Chamber members in Start-Up categories and above have unlimited access to the Business Advice Hotline, which is open from 8.30am until 5pm Monday to Friday. Call (08) 8300 0000 (select option 1). 

Not a Member? Not a problem If you are not a the South Australian Business Chamber Member now is the right time to join to find out more about the South Australian Business Chamber Membership and the great benefits by calling (08) 8300 0000.
