The settings for Public Holidays can be accessed and updated by clicking on the 'Payroll settings' >  'Public holidays' option.

  • Manually add public holidays - click on required date on the calendar to add public holiday - please check for all government and regional public holidays not listed and add them in manually if required, make sure a state is assigned to this location on the Locations page, under the pay run settings heading on the payroll settings tab.
    • If you want a public holiday to apply to certain locations only you need to ensure that you don't select the state the location/s are in (as this will result in the holiday being applied to all locations in that state)

Configuring the State on Locations

All public holidays operate at either the state level or at the specific location level. It is important to set up the state information on locations in the system.

Please note that if the state is configured on a higher-level location, it will be used for any nested locations (unless they also specify a state).

To configure the state for locations:

  • Go into payroll settings, then to the 'Locations' menu
  • Find the required location and click on the name
  • Select the state that the location is associated with
  • click Save
