Casual employee public holidays

Question

I'm trying to work out what hours to pay for public holidays for a casual employee who works irregular hours each week and not every day. I have searched on here and it was suggested you find the number of days worked and find the average from there. Do I take their 'hours' worked and divide it by days present at work? Working out the number of actual days at work seems like a mission. I'm talking from a period from 1 July 24 to Oct 24.

HI LoisB,

Averaging the hours worked over a period is a super common way to calculate public holiday pay for casual employees with irregular hours. This method makes sure they get paid fairly based on their actual work patterns. You also have the flexibility to decide how many hours your employee should work.
