There are two things that can happen on a public holiday - your employee can work on that day, or take a holiday on that day. They are entitled to be paid for both options, but you will need to process them differently in Ace Payroll.

Pay a public holiday worked

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.

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. You are also required to give an employee an alternative holiday  - one day off for each public holiday they work.


 

Pay a public holiday taken

Use this method to pay an employee who took a day off on the public holiday, but would have worked otherwise.

An employee is not entitled to payment if the public holiday falls on a day that would not otherwise have been a working day for that employee. For example, if a public holiday falls on a Monday and your employee always has Mondays off, they are not entitled to payment.


To pay a public holiday taken
  1. From the front screen, click Calculate Pays and select the employee you want to pay.  

  2. Click Leave > Public Holiday Taken, then click Next.
    The Public Holiday Taken window appears. All public holidays and anniversary days within the pay period are shown in this window.
     

  3. Select the public holidays you want to pay by clicking the red cross next to them. The cross turns into a green tick to indicate the holidays that will be paid.
    If you want to pay an Alternative holiday, click select a different date.

      

  4. When you have selected the correct days, click Next. The Select Payment Method window opens.



  5. Select the payment method that fits your employee. Then click Next and then Confirm to close the window. Your employee’s payroll sheet is updated with the changes you have made.
