We have an employee who was injured on duty today, 24/12/2018. It is pretty serious and he will probably be off work for several weeks. We will pay him at 75% of his daily rate during this time and then claim this back once he is fully recovered and returned to work - but my question is how do we handle the public holidays that are coming up? Do we pay him 75% for the public holidays as well? The Compensation Commissioner states that the IOD days must be consecutive so we are a little confused and don't want to pay him 75% for today and then a full daily rate for the 25th and 26th and then start again with 75% for the 27th, 28th and 31st and then a full daily rate for the public holiday on the 1st January 2019. If there is someone who has had a similar situation and is able to assist we would appreciate your input. Thanks so much!
