Public Holiday Payment Issue Workaround
We’ve identified an issue that may affect how public holiday payments are applied for some employees with no standard hours over ANZAC Day.
What’s happening
For employees with no standard hours, the system may apply the public holiday to Monday (27 April), even where your agreement is to apply it to Saturday (25 April).
This is due to how Mondayisation is currently handled.
What this means for you
We have not identified any cases of employees being paid twice.
However, if your employees:
- Don’t have standard hours, and
- Worked on ANZAC Day (Saturday)
You may need to make a manual adjustment to ensure the correct public holiday treatment is applied.
What to do now
To keep your pays accurate:
Step 1. Login and navigate to the Company settings page
Step 2. Under Other Options, deselect the ‘Auto-adjust pay packets for public holidays’ option and save
Step 3. Find the timesheet entry that needs to be removed (the entry that the employee is entitled to time and a half for). Open and delete.
Step 4. Open the pay for your employee and select ‘Add leave item’
Step 5. Add the Public Holiday Worked (1.5) leave item and update as required
Step 6. OPTIONAL – If an alternate leave day should also be applied, you can enter this by adding the ‘Alt. Public Holiday Earned leave item
