Add Comment Question: Civic Holiday is not a stat. I am a contract employee working for an agency assigned to 1 client. Full time employees were paid and client employees were paid. I was not paid for Civic. I was not allowed to work unless I had manager approval as per an email as it was a holiday. Am I entitled to be paid for Civic? Answer: It depends which stats the Agency pays for. If they give you public holiday pay for 9 stats but not the civic day as one of those stats, you would not be entitled to the civic day as a public holiday. Please contact our firm for a consultation should you wish to discuss your situation further.
