State Service Act 2000

Every statutory holiday specified for the whole State under the Statutory Holidays Act 2000 is to be a holiday throughout the State Service.

A day or part of a day specified as a statutory holiday in any part of Tasmania under the Statutory Holidays Act 2000 is to be kept as a holiday or part holiday in all offices of the State Service situated within that part.

The Employer may at any time appoint any specified day or specified part of a day to be kept as a holiday or part holiday in the offices of the State Service or in the offices of the State Service in any part of Tasmania.

The Employer or a Head of Agency may require an Agency or part of any Agency to be kept open in the public interest for the whole or any portion of a holiday, and may require the attendance and service of any employee of the Agency during any such holiday.

If an employee has been required by the Employer or the Head of Agency to be in attendance at that Agency during any holiday, the employee is to be granted a holiday on such other occasion as the Employer or Head of Agency determines.
