Hi,

I just want to confirm if Public Holiday is worked, is the whole payment at the penalty rate attract superannuation?

Example - a Full-time employee works on a public holiday, her normal work hour is 7.5hrs a day. Under the award she is eligible to get paid at the penalty rate of 2.5.

If her hourly rate is $30, we will pay her 7.5hrx $30= $225 and extra 7.5hr x $45 = $337.50. Total she get 7.5 hrs of pay at 2.5 rate.

I understand that the $225 portion is OTE and attract super. I just want to confirm if the $337.50 attract super as well or not.

Thank you.
