Setting up Public Holidays in Remote Timesheet Module?

It is best practice to enter your Public Holidays once a year, for the whole year, in the Remote Timesheet Module. At the beginning of Each Year it is a good idea to check through this list of Public Holidays and update. If they are not set for recurring, the Public Holiday dates for the Year ahead will need to be checked and updated.
​
If the Public Holidays are not set up within the Pay Period Ending you are about to process, they may not take full effect. The Public Holidays must be already designated within the Pay Period Ending before you begin data entry for the first Employee.
​
To Enter or Amend the Public Holidays go to Data Entry, Public Holiday/RDOs, Right click to Add or click on the Public Holiday you want to edit, Right click and select Edit.
​
There are three red buttons on the Toolbar that will allow you to use these functions as well.
​
You have some options available if there is a Public Holiday that happens every year, but its actual date changes each year. You can choose to Edit the existing one and change the date, or you can choose to Delete last year's date and Add it again for the year ahead.
​
For other Public Holidays, where the dates are consistent each year, the Public Holiday itself can be set up to recur each year. This means, the year will automatically roll over to the next and leave the day and month the same.
​
If you want to Add a Public Holiday, fill in a Description, i.e. Christmas Day, the Type will be a Public Holiday, set the Start Date for the Year ahead and in Recurring choose if it is Once Only or Each Year. Christmas Day would be set to Recurring Each Year.
​
Public Holidays like a Labour Day or Easter Public Holidays as are Recurring Once Only because these dates are change each year. This type of Public Holiday will require amending at the beginning of each year for the year ahead.
​
It is important to note that, if a Public Holiday is not Set Up prior to Processing the Payroll for that week it must then be forced through at the Timesheet. This procedure involves selecting each Employee from the Time sheet screen in turn, using the Tab Leave/Other options and designating the Public Holiday to them individually.
​
It may be a good idea to call Payroll at Head Office and confirm with them the specific State Based Public Holiday dates that are being entered into your Remote.
