How to Manage Public Holidays

Navigate to Settings → Holidays from the sidebar menu.

Getting Started

• Ensure the Public Holidays toggle is switched on (shown at the top of the page).
• If you have just enabled this toggle, click Save to confirm.

Public Holiday Options

Once the Public Holidays toggle is switched on, two additional settings appear:

• Add To Standard Hours — when enabled, holiday hours are included in the employee's normal (standard) time as well as being counted as holiday hours. This is useful when your award or agreement requires public holiday work to contribute to both ordinary hours and public holiday entitlements.
• Persist Public Holiday Leave Hours — when enabled, the full scheduled public holiday leave hours are kept when an employee works on a public holiday. If you turn this on, switch off Add To Standard Hours.

Toggle each setting on or off, then click Save to apply.

Viewing Holidays

• Use the date range picker at the top to filter holidays by period (defaults to the current calendar year).
• The table shows each holiday's Date, Holiday Name, Assigned Staff count, and available Actions.
• Click column headers to sort by Date, Holiday Name, or Assigned Staff.
