    Worked Christmas day also, will be back in today as well.
    No penalty rates for me, just another day on the job, at least no management in though.

    I'm working tonight. The penalties may pay for the next repair on the P38A.

    Not this year. Actually worked 10 hr overtime shift last year but no big dollars. We are on a composite rate so get the same whether public hol or not. Even OT rate is now only 1.3 times. Will be working Xmas next year though.
