      Paying an Employee for Working on this Public Holiday which is their Normal Work Day

      This example article shows how to add hours worked on a public holiday and the day of alternative leave to a timesheet.

      Updated: June 2024

      My employee is working some hours 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:

      ✅ Working any number of hours
      ✅ 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:

      ✅ The hours they worked - paid at 1.5x rate
      ✅ A day of alternative leave added to their leave balance to be used later
       
      Here is a timesheet example:
      S2Example_OWD_PH Worked
       
      1. Add 'Public Hol wrkd' pay type to the timesheet with the hours they worked added on the day. This pay type pays at 1.5x their regular rate.
      2. Add 'Alt Hol [+] (days)' pay type to the timesheet with a 1 added to the public holiday date. This adds one day of alternative leave to the employee's leave balance.
