Public Holiday

Woody

For a Public Holiday to accumulate in Annual Leave, should the 'type' in item set up be hourly wage or addition?

Hi @Woody

Public holidays don’t accumulate, they’re paid as normal hours. Some people like to track them separately, in which case - if the employee didn’t work on it - you would use the same Payroll Item as the employee’s ordinary pay (eg Hourly or Salary) ☺️

NOTE: If the employee works on a Public Holiday, it would normally need to be paid as Overtime.

Every hour worked or in this case not worked accumulates toward annual leave even annual leave hours accumulate. If you work a 35hr week which means 1820 hours for 52 weeks time times the Reckon default 0.07694hr/hr worked equals 140.308 hours which is 4 weeks holiday, close enough!

Yes they do qualify for A/L

Thank you for your reply but I think I have to word the question differently.

If an employee does not work the Public Holiday but gets paid for the PH at the base rate, are the hours (e.g. 8 hrs) included in the accumulation for Annual Leave. If the work week is normally 32 hours and it includes 8 hours of Public Holiday, do the full 32 hours qualify for annual leave accumulation.

Yes - all leave accrues (+ super is payable) if a public holiday falls on an employee’s usual day of work as it is treated & paid as if the employee had worked their ordinary hours ☺️

Thank you all very much.
