	NSW Office of Industrial Relations, Public Holidays (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-07)
		Local public holidays in NSW are gazetted under the Banks and Bank Holidays Act 1912.
		An appointed local holiday under the Act benefits employees who have an industrial award, agreement or contract of employment which confers a right of paid absence (or penalty rates in lieu) on the local public holiday.
		In the absence of such express coverage within an applicable industrial instrument, the conferring of the benefit of a local public holiday to employees is entirely within the discretion of individual employers.

	Employment Standards Fact Sheet - Public Holidays \| Ontario Ministry of Labour
		Public holiday pay is all of an employee's regular wages earned, plus all of the vacation pay payable, in the four weeks before the work week with the public holiday, divided by 20.
		If an employee has agreed in writing to work on the public holiday but works only some of the hours agreed upon and does not show reasonable cause for not working the employee is only entitled to receive premium pay for each hour worked on the holiday.
		The only time these employees can be required to work on a public holiday without their agreement is when the public holiday falls on a day they would normally work, and they are not on vacation.

	About SA - Public Holidays
		In apartheid South Africa 16 December was known as Day of the Vow, as the Voortrekkers in preparation for the battle took a Vow before God that they would build a church and that they and their descendants would observe the day as a day of thanksgiving should they be granted victory.
		With the advent of democracy in South Africa 16 December retained its status as a public holiday, however, this time with the purpose of fostering reconciliation and national unity.
		On the recommendation from the Ministry of Finance, the Reserve Bank and the Y2K Centre Government decided that 31 December 1999 and 2 January 2000 should be declared public holidays to allow four non-working days for Y2K system testing, and ensure that the country suffers the minimum possible level of disruption over this transition period.
