1. If an official public holiday falls on a Sunday, the Monday automatically becomes an additional public holiday. This means there are two public holidays:
The Sunday (original public holiday)
The Monday (extra public holiday)

2. If you are scheduled to work both days
If you normally work Sundays and Mondays and you work on both days, then both days are treated as public holidays.
Under the BCEA:
Working on a public holiday must be paid at least double your normal daily wage.

So if you work both days:
Sunday: At least 2× your normal pay
Monday: At least 2× your normal pay
In practice, that means double pay for both days, because they are two separate public holidays.

3. Example
If your normal daily wage is R600:

Sunday (public holiday)
R1200
Monday (additional public holiday)
R1200
Total for the two days = R2400

📼 IF LABOUR LAW MADE EASY EXISTED IN THE 80s… 😂
Look at me looking like I’m about to tell somebody:
“My dear, before you sign that warning… READ IT!” 😂😂
But on a serious note…
South African workplaces have changed tremendously over the years. Today, employees have important protections under laws such as the Labour Relations Act, BCEA, EEA and OHSA.
But one thing hasn’t changed:
👉 Knowledge is power.
Whether it’s 1986 or 2026, never be afraid to ask:
“Is this fair?”
“What exactly am I signing?”
“What procedure should my employer follow?”
“What are my rights?”
Because sometimes the difference between accepting something unfair and challenging it successfully is simply knowing your rights.
And judging by this picture… 😂
I would definitely have been that colleague in the 80s whispering:
“Don’t resign yet. Come, let’s talk first.” 😭😂

Labour Law Tip: Under the BCEA, a public holiday may not be counted as annual leave, and if it falls on a day you would normally have worked, you're entitled to that day separately. So basically your employer needs to give u that day back either in the form of an off day or an additional annual leave day that's not deducted from ur leave balance.

work on public ho
