Melbourne Cup Day Substitution. Where, outside the Melbourne Metropolitan area, a Public Holiday is proclaimed in that municipality for the observance of local events, that day will be observed as a Public Holiday in lieu of Melbourne Cup Day.
Melbourne Cup Day Substitution. If, a Public Holiday, is declared to apply to a non-metropolitan Council under section 8A of the Public Holidays Act 1993 (Vic), that day or half day will be the Public Holiday instead of Melbourne Cup Day. An Employee and Employer may agree to substitute the declared Public Holiday in clause 55.3(a) for Melbourne Cup Day, in which case penalty rates for work on the declared Public Holiday will not apply and the Employee will be able to absent themselves from the workplace on Melbourne Cup Day without loss of pay. In the event there are insufficient substitution arrangements agreed under clause 55.3(b) to meet the Employer’s reasonable operational requirements, the Employer may require an Employee whose workplace is in a non-metropolitan Council to which a declared substitution Public Holiday applies, to work on the declared Public Holiday. Employees required to work on the declared Public Holiday will be paid overtime or time in lieu in accordance with clause 46 (Overtime), unless a substitution arrangement has been agreed under clause 55.5. In establishing the roster of Employees required to work on the declared Public Holiday in lieu of Melbourne Cup, the Employer will consider both its reasonable operational requirements and the personal circumstances of the Employees.
