Public Holiday Not Worked
PH - Public Holiday (not Worked)
It is a legislative requirement that employees get a paid day off on public holidays, if it’s an otherwise working day for them (a day that they would have normally been at work).
iPayroll has a public holiday calendar in the system and each time you open a pay, if a holiday falls within the pay period; you will see a notification on each timesheet. If you determine that it is an otherwise working day for an employee, you can add it to the timesheet as PH - Public Holiday (not Worked). If the employee has a work pattern or standard hours, the hours will be added. If you are using Average Daily Pay, the system will determine the hours but it's very important to check any hours and each situation needs to be considered and based on an employee’s specific situation and work pattern.
If an employee is on annual leave when there’s a public holiday, they get a paid public holiday if they would have normally worked on that day, and do not lose an annual leave day. iPayroll will exclude Public Holidays from leave request calculations.
If you have selected the Regional Holiday for an employee on their Personal Details, you will see this notification when you open a pay that contains a Regional Holiday also. Leave requests will exclude the holiday but only if the Personal Details have been updated.
