      Paying a Public Holiday during ACC Week 1

      This example article shows the interaction between ACC Week 1 payments and public holidays in a timesheet.

      Updated: August 2024

      There is a public holiday during the time I am paying my employee ACC week 1 compensation. What do I need to know?
      Let's break down this example.

      On this public holiday, this employee is:

      ❌  Working any hours for which they must be paid.
      ✅ On a form of paid leave (ACC week 1)
      ✅ This day is a day they would normally work if it wasn't a public holiday and they weren't on ACC, according to their work pattern (OWD)

      Info - Blue Block (1)Remember: Public Holiday always wins above other types of paid leave in the timesheet.

      Their timesheet should have this for the public holiday:

      ✅  Relevant daily pay
      ✅ Regular payments included in Gross for this day, such as regular overtime and allowances
      ❌ ACC wk1 (which pays at 80% RDP)
      ❌ Reimbursing allowances
      ❌ Meal allowances and other discretionary payments

      Here is a timesheet example:

      S10Example_PH during ACC wk1

      • Add 'Public Hol Off' pay type to the timesheet with their usual hours added. This pay type pays 100 % of the employee's usual daily pay.
      • Add timesheet rows with other regular payments if applicable for this day.

      Info - Blue Block (1)Advise ACC of the additional income received for this public holiday.
