Labour Day falls on the first Monday of March in Western Australia and on the second Monday of March in Victoria and Tasmania. New South Wales, Queensland, South Australia, the Northern Territory and the ACT do not hold a Labour Day public holiday in March at all, so the long weekend applies only in the three states that observe it on these dates.
Any deadline or bill payment due on Saturday 25 March 2028 moves to the following Monday under standard business-day rules, since Saturday is not a working day for the Monday-to-Friday workforce this page counts by default. Shift-based industries follow their own separate rostering rules instead of this convention.
The week number shown for 25 March 2028 counts full weeks from the start of 2028, a figure used in payroll cycles, rostering and any planning done in weekly or fortnightly blocks rather than by calendar month. Businesses running fortnightly pay runs rely on this figure to track which of the two alternating pay weeks a date falls in.
