The permanent staff DID lose something.
No, they didn't.
The default position on Public Holidays is, you stay home from work and you get paid to do so.
Public Holidays are holidays. If they were work days they would be called Public Work Days.
The permanent staff at that restaurant stayed home, and they were paid to do so.
They gained an extra day off that week, and got the same pay as usual.
Your claim to be an IR advocate loses some credibility when you are apparently unaware that working on a public holiday entitles you to ADDITIONAL income on top of the normal day's pay. If this were not true, no permanent staff anywhere would ever work on a public holiday.
You are the same as Aussie - a fake.

They didn't lose a thing, because working on a Public Holiday is not an automatic right: it is the exception rather than the rule.
Try to keep up, Longy.
Thank you for explaining public holidays to us because I doubt there is a single person here who was unaware of the facts of how they work. Nicely missing the point of course, which is.... tada! They could have had an EXTRA days pay at holiday loading rates and they were denied that because of the decision not to open.
THEY LOST OUT on money.
No, they didn't miss out on anything.

Has this restaurant ever opened on a Public Holiday before?
