Overview
Public holiday timesheet shifts are automatically generated for eligible employees based on their standard daily hours. For most organisations, this applies to permanent employees, including part time and full time employees, as casual employees are not usually entitled to a non worked public holiday.
This type of public holiday shift is often referred to as a Public holiday non worked shift, which represents the employee’s standard day. If an employee works on a public holiday, this is referred to as a Public holiday worked shift. Correct configuration is essential to ensure employees are paid correctly.
