Tomorrow being a public holiday, If one had to work half day, how many days off does that count as? 1?
South Africa’s biggest forum. Discuss, discover, and connect with thousands of members.
All overtime is voluntary and may only be worked by agreement between employer and employee.
Maximum permissible overtime is 3 hours on anyone day or 10 hours in any 1 week. Remuneration must be at 1, 5 times the normal wage rate except for Sunday work and work on public holidays, which must be remunerated at twice the normal wage rate.
Time off, calculated on the same formula, may be granted instead of payment, but only by agreement with the employee.

I would suggest that 1 day off for half day on a public holiday is envisaged per above.
