This example article shows how to add a paid public holiday off to a timesheet.
Updated: June 2024
My employee is not working on this public holiday. They would normally work on this day if it wasn't a public holiday. Let's break down this example.
On this public holiday, this employee is:
✅ | Not working |
✅ | This day is a day they would normally work if it wasn't a public holiday, according to their work pattern (OWD) |
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 |
❌ | Reimbursing allowances |
❌ | Meal allowances and other discretionary payments |
Here is a timesheet example:
- Add 'Public Hol Off' pay type to the timesheet with their usual hours added. This pay type pays the employee's usual daily pay.
- Add timesheet rows with other regular payments if applicable for this day.
