Public Holidays
Public Holiday Entitlements
The purpose of these guidelines is to provide clarity for staff on the 2024 Public Holidays in the countries we work in.
Public Holidays
Our Catalpa team is based across multiple countries.
Staff observe the public holidays of the country (and in the case of Australia, State or Territory) that they are based in, as authorized by the relevant authority.
If any proposed public holidays conflict with your religious beliefs, family or holiday commitments, we encourage staff to discuss arrangements with your Manager to exchange the dates.
At the start of each calendar year, the Catalpa Handbook will be updated with the public holidays for the year.
Note, for Days of Tolerance, Catalpa does not provide paid leave for days of tolerance. Staff are expected to attend work as per normal.
Please note, the dates of the public holidays may need to be reviewed from time to time as countries formally publish gazetted public holidays.
