Is super payable on public holiday pay?

Public holiday pay is considered ordinary time earnings if the public holiday forms part of an employee’s normal standard roster. Ordinary time earnings are superable therefore public holidays paid and taken will attract the Super Guarantee Contribution (SGC).

If a public holiday is worked and forms part of an employee’s normal roster, the hours worked are not overtime but are paid as a penalty rate. Super is payable for hours worked on a public holiday calculated on the total payment paid at the penalty rate.
