[QUOTE="Occams Barber, post: 76617007, member: 313365"] A Public Holiday is a paid day off here. If you get paid for not going to work, its a holiday. Where the day falls on a Sunday the (paid) Public Holiday is usually on the following Monday. In the case of Easter, Good Friday and Easter Monday are paid holidays. In general usage a holiday here is paid time off either as part of your 4 weeks annual leave or on a Public Holiday. Christmas, Easter, New Years Day, Australia Day, ANZAC day, Queens Birthday, Labour Day are all paid Public Holidays by law. The British equivalent is a 'Bank Holiday'. In the US 'holiday' usually refers to a special event day (e.g., Christmas, Easter, Thanksgiving) where businesses might close but does not necessarily include mandatory payment. OB [/QUOTE]
