How Do I Handle A Transferred Public Holiday?

A public holiday can be transferred only when the legal requirements are met and the transfer does not reduce the employee's total number of public holidays.

1. Record the employer and employee agreement outside the pay if required.
2. Enter the Public Holiday row on the transferred date, not the original date.
3. If the employee works on the transferred public holiday and it is otherwise working for them, pay the worked time at the public holiday rate and record any Alternative Holiday earned.
4. Do not also treat the original date as a public holiday for the same employee unless the law and agreement require it.

If support is unsure whether a transfer is valid, preserve the pay records and confirm the employer's decision before changing leave rows.
