How Do Sports Venues Keep Racket Hire Running on Public Holidays Without Paying Penalty Rates?

Public holidays are among the busiest play days of the year for Australian racquet venues — but they are also the most expensive day to roster a counter, with public holiday work paid at 250% (double time and a half) in 25 of Australia's 33 modern awards. A 24/7 unmanned racket rental kiosk keeps gear available on Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year's Day and Australia Day with no roster and no penalty rate.
