We understand how difficult and time-consuming it can be to determine each employee's entitlement to public holiday benefits and calculate the appropriate payment. That's why we've created a Public Holiday Pay Helper Tool in the Payroll section.
To view the full product overview click here
When a Public Holiday occurs you'll notice a calendar icon and an extra input field on the day.
When you click on the "i" icon by the input field you'll be presented information detailing the employee's work history, covering a 13 week reference period leading up to the Public Holiday.
This includes :
5 Week Entitlement Period - hours worked and annual leave taken
This should help you work out if the employee is entitled to public holiday pay.
13 Week Reference Period Summary - hours worked and annual leave taken
Daily and weekly averages of hours worked
Details of the last day worked prior to Public Holiday
This information should help you decide how many hours to pay for the public holiday.
Last day worked that was the same day as Public Holiday.
Number of times the employee has worked the same day as the bank holiday.
This should help you determine if the employee normally works on the day of the public holiday.
Based on all of the information provided you will be able to decide whether the employee qualifies for the benefit and how many hours they're entitled to.
Once you make your decision you can input the number of hours you'd like to pay them into the box.
To export those hours simply select your usual export type and and select "Include Bank Holiday Hours".
As always we welcome your questions and feedback about the feature. Please don't hesitate to reach out and contact us.
