[QUOTE="Occams Barber, post: 76616418, member: 313365"] You've asked a complex question. The short answer is 'no'. All full time Australian workers are entitled to 4 weeks paid leave each year. These are commonly called our annual '[B]holidays[/B]'. We may choose to use some or all of our annual '[B]holidays[/B]' to take a '[B]holiday[/B]' and go somewhere or just stay home: "[I]I used two weeks of my [B]annual[/B] [B]holiday[/B]s to take a skiing [B]holida[/B]y to New Zealand"[/I] Celebration days like Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day etc. are [B]Public Holidays,[/B] which means a day off work[B] with pay[/B] for all workers but not related to our [B]annual holidays[/B]. We would refer to each of these [B]Public Holidays [/B]by the specific event it celebrates - i.e., 'Christmas day [B]holiday[/B], Boxing Day [B]holiday[/B] New Years day [B]holiday. [/B] My understanding is that '[B]the holiday(s)'[/B] in a US context, is a collective all- encompassing reference to a range of celebratory days which occur towards the end of the year (Christmas, New Year(s), Thanksgiving). American[B] holidays[/B] may (or may not) be paid. OB [/QUOTE]
