Use this method to pay any employee who has worked on a public holiday.
If there is more than one public holiday in a pay period you must process them each separately, because your employee’s entitlements might be different for different days.
For each public holiday there are three things to consider - alternative holidays, payment, and 50% loading.
You are legally required to add 50% loading if your employee worked on a public holiday. This means paying your employee 1.5 times their usual rate, known as time and a half.
- From the front screen click Calculate Pays and choose the employee you want to pay.
- Click Leave, then Public Holiday Worked.
The Public Holiday Worked window appears and shows every public holiday within the current pay period.
Click the Keyboard icon next to the first public holiday you want to pay.
A new window appears with entitlement options. This window refers to a single day. The date, day of the week, and a description of the public holiday, are shown at the top of the screen
- Click Payment For Time Worked. Use either Hours and Rates or Selected Amount to set your employee’s standard pay for the day.
- Click Go to close the window, then click Go again to close the next window.
Click Add 50% Loading to turn it on. A tick appears next to it.
You are legally required to pay employees time and a half for working on a public holiday. Clicking Add 50% Loading adds 50% payment on top of the standard pay calculated in step four.
- If your employee is entitled to an alternative holiday, then click Allow Alternative Holiday to turn it on. A tick appears next to it.
This adds one day of alternative holiday leave to your staff member’s employee profile. - Click OK to confirm the changes you have made.
