When Public Holidays are set up for employees who worked hours on a public holiday in the timesheet entry, it will be paid as per the award conditions.
Employees who have not worked may get Make-Up pay for that day, depending on the Award setup. These settings can be checked in Setup, Awards, select the Award, Edit, Normal, Public Holiday. There are rules for Worked and Did Not Work.
To set up your Public Holidays, complete the following steps:
Go to Setup, Public Holidays, Add. If the holiday doesn't already appear in the list. If the Public Holiday already appears in the list and has an incorrect date (a date which is not in the current pay period or in the future), highlight the public Holiday, Edit, and modify the date.
If you have selected Add to create a new public holiday, enter a description and a date. You can type the date or select the date from the calendar in the drop-down menu. The date should be in the current pay period if the current pay period has not yet been processed, or a future date. Your public holiday is now set up.
To restrict a public holiday to a location, tick the Restrict Holiday to a Location and then select the Location from the Location drop-down box.
